US close: Stocks reclaim some of Friday's losses
(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks closed higher on Monday as major indices clawed back some of the previous session's losses ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve meeting. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.20% at 38,790.43, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.63% to 5,149.42 and the Nasdaq Composite saw out the session 0.82% firmer at 16,103.45.
The Dow closed 75.66 points higher on Monday, reclaiming some of Friday's losses that came as investors continued to come to terms with hotter-than-expected core and wholesale inflation readings.
Traders were mostly looking ahead to tomorrow's Federal Open Markets Committee's monetary policy meeting on Monday, with the central bank widely expected to keep benchmark interest rates unchanged. Elsewhere, the expectation of a rate cut taking place in June has also been dialled back in recent days.
On the macro front, the National Association of Housebuilders' housing market index increased to 51 in March, up from 48 in February and beating forecasts for a flat month-on-month reading. March's index showed the strongest confidence level in eight months, with a lack of existing inventory continuing to drive buyers to new home construction, while demand also increased after mortgage rates fell below last autumn's cycle peak.
"With the Federal Reserve expected to announce future rate cuts in the second half of 2024, lower financing costs will draw many prospective buyers into the market. However, as home building activity picks up, builders will likely grapple with rising material prices, particularly for lumber", said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz
In the corporate space, Nvidia traded as it held its GTC Conference, while Super Micro Computer shares advanced on the stock's first trading day on the S&P 500.
