Good Morning!

The US stock markets closed higher yesterday. The S&P 500 was up 0.68% to 4,211 points and the Nasdaq was up just 0.22% to 14,082 points. The Nasdaq performed significantly worse and that had to do with major outliers. Facebook, for example, stole the show with an increase of 6.62% , but Apple (-0.84%) and eBay (-9.93%) lost. Tesla also fell 3.05% and Uber fell more than 6%. In the Dow Jones and S&P 500, the bulk of the shares rose, with Nike (+ 1.95%) and JPMorgan Chase (+ 1.94%) among the biggest risers. Investors also processed growth figures for the US economy. For example, the government announced that the economy grew by 6.4% in the first quarter, compared to a year ago.  Compared to the previous quarter, this was an increase in GDP of 1.6%. The number of weekly benefit claims also decreased slightly, to 553,000. Exact figures on US unemployment will be released next week. New York futures are currently lower and have been set in motion by the figures from Twitter and Amazon.com. In after-market trading, Twitter fell 11.51% on disappointing data and Amazon.com gained 2.37% on strong growth figures. Later today, investors are looking forward to data on personal spending and US consumer confidence. That data can provide investors, and the Federal Reserve, with valuable information on how quickly prices in the U.S. economy are rising as it recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.
