S&P and Nasdaq enjoy boost from big tech firms; Dow ends a hair lower

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - The S&P and Nasdaq closed higher on Monday (Oct 18) with the biggest boosts from the highest-profile technology and communications companies, while investors eyed product news from Apple and appeared optimistic about the third-quarter earnings season. After a weak start following disappointing economic data from China, the S&P and Nasdaq gathered steam in late morning with gains in "Faang" stocks - Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google - as well as Microsoft. Apple shares closed 1 per cent higher after the company made a splash by unveiling new Mac laptop computers with more powerful processor chips.

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - The S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average ended lower on Monday (April 12), with investors waiting for cues from the upcoming corporate earnings season and a key inflation report later this week. The indexes had closed at record highs on Friday, after rallying for days on a pullback in the benchmark 10-year bond yield from 14-month highs. With US consumer price data for March due to be published Tuesday (April 13), this could drive Treasury yields higher.

"Investors are now going to pay close attention to earnings season, because this is the time where they are expecting guidance from companies, where valuations start to matter again," said Ed Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.
