 Market Update: Dow Jones Closed In Green. Should The Market Players Be Relaxed?

It can be said that investors are keeping a close track of the developments with respect to the trade battle between the US and China and they have every reason to do so, as the war could affect the prospects of global growth. Any kind of positive developments could favourably impact the sentiments of investors and broader equity markets. In the event of global slowdown, investors generally decide to deploy their capital towards safer instruments rather than in equities. Presently, it can be said that investors are aware of the positive developments with respect to the trade war. However, a permanent end to the battle is of utmost importance.

The war could have adverse impacts on the core business operations of global companies which could, in turn, weigh over the financial numbers and outlook of the companies. Coming to the performance on September 12, 2019, Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session in green, as the index encountered an increase of 45.41 points or 0.17% on an intraday basis to end the session at 27,182.45. On the same day, S&P 500 Index rose by 0.29% or 8.64 points to settle at 3,009.57.
