Analyst Update: Quarterly Earnings, Agreement, and Corporate Updates
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The U.S. stocks edged higher on Monday, helped by rise in energy shares which also overshadowed the concerns that victory of anti-bailout party Syriza in Greece could bring a fresh crisis to the Euro zone. Syriza's 40-year old leader Alexis Tsipras has vowed to renegotiate Greece's €240 million bailout deal and bring about an end to the austerity measures. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.03% to close at 17,678.70, the S&P 500 gained 0.26% to close at 2,057.09, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.29% to end at 4,771.76. European stocks also ended higher on Monday after an initial slide following the outcome of Greece elections. Riding high on the European Central Bank's recently announced bond-buying program, the Stoxx Europe 600 index rose for the eighth straight session on Monday, hitting a fresh seven-year high. In Asia, most of the equity markets managed to end the session higher despite renewed concerns over Greece's future in Euro zone.
