US: Nasdaq edges to record while Dow pulls back
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


THE Nasdaq edged to a fresh record while the Dow pulled back on Friday (Mar 22), as US stock markets took a breather after two buoyant sessions following mixed corporate earnings.

All three indices finished at records the last two days, on the back of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve meeting.

But major indices have since had a more subdued performance, suggesting some profit taking.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.8 per cent to 39,475.90, retreating from a serious drive at the 40,000-point level.

The broad-based S&P 500 slipped 0.1 per cent to 5,234.18, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.2 per cent to 16,428.82, a third straight record close.

“Even though, during the month of March, certainly we’ve seen more broadening in market leadership, today we were back to growth-style investments leading the way,” said Angelo Kourkafas of Edward Jones.
