Analyst Update: Financial Results,Outlook, and Spin-off
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The U.S. stocks came under pressure on Tuesday as a surprise drop in durable-goods orders coupled with disappointing corporate earnings raised concerns over the U.S. economy's strength. Commerce Department data showed that orders of U.S. durable goods fell 3.4% in December from a month earlier - the fourth decline in five months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.65% to close at 17,387.21, the S&P 500 lost 1.34% to close at 2,029.55, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.89% to end at 4,681.50. In Europe, the markets retreated after eight-day long winning streak as continued uncertainty in Greece coupled with disappointing corporate results weighed upon investor sentiments. Meanwhile, Asian markets were mostly higher on Tuesday, led by sharp rebound in Japanese stocks on cheaper yen. Chinese stocks fell for the first time in six days amid concerns over declining profit at major industrial companies.
