Stocks Ended Mixed in Volatile Day Full of Reports
U.S. stocks finished mixed in a choppy trading session, as a host of earnings and economic news were released. The markets digested a second-straight 75 basis point rate hike by the European Central Bank (ECB).
Shares of Meta Platforms tumbled after missing earnings estimates and forecasting much higher-than-expected capital expenditures, while Dow members Caterpillar, McDonald’s, Honeywell, and Merck all rallied after beating earnings expectations.
The economic calendar is full as Q3 GDP growth came in stronger than expected, and weekly initial jobless claims were lower than anticipated, but durable goods orders missed forecasts. Treasury yields fell following the data, and the U.S. dollar rebounded from a recent drop amid the ECB rate hike.
Crude oil prices were higher, and gold dipped. Asia diverged as the markets remained choppy, while Europe ended higher following the ECB’s monetary policy decision and amid the flood of earnings reports.
