Analyst Update: Quarterly Results, Partnerships, Product Popularity, Upcoming Earnings, and Investments
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The US stock markets mostly closed lower on Wednesday despite progress in Greece negotiations and dovish Fed minutes. Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 17.85 points, or 0.10%, at 18,029.85; S&P 500 closed down 0.68 points, or 0.03%, at 2,099.66; Nasdaq closed up 7.10 points, or 0.14%, at 4,906.36. European stocks ended mostly higher and rose to seven-year high amid Greek deal prospects, as Greece is expected to submit a loan request on Thursday to extend a loan agreement for up to six months. The FTSEuroFirst 300 index rose 0.7% to a fresh seven-year high of 1,515.90. On the other hand, most Asian stocks advanced on Wednesday due to investor optimism ahead of a European Central Bank meeting on bailout conditions for Greece, though many markets of the region were shut for the Lunar New Year.
