Analyst Update: Prestigious Rankings, Financial Results, and Acquisitions
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The US stock markets on Wednesday ended on a negative note amid the tumbling crude oil prices and light volume trade. In the last trading session of 2014, S&P 500 closed at 2,058.90, down 1.03%, NASDAQ Composite declined 0.87% to 4,736.05, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.89% lower to finish the day at 17,823.07. However, the European stocks wrapped up the year on a positive note and were closed for trading on December 31, 2014. The Asian markets on the other hand ended the Wednesday's trading session on a mixed note as rising concerns over Greece's political crisis rattled the markets. Further, confirmation from HSBC that its index of China's manufacturing activity had contracted in December indicated a slowing Chinese economy despite government efforts to shore up development.
