The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 123.91 points, or 0.38 per cent, to 33,052.87, the S&P 500 gained 26.98 points, or 0.65 per cent, to 4,193.8 and the Nasdaq Composite added 61.76 points, or 0.48 per cent, to 12,851.24. — AFP picNEW YORK, Nov 1 ― Wall Street's main indexes ended yesterday's session with gains as investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy update while they digested a mixed batch of earnings reports.
“All roads right now lead back to long-term rates which impact equities,” said Samana, adding that in stocks some investors may be encouraged by the idea that, “the recent sell-off brings us back to fairly valued from over-valued levels.”However the strategist was wary of upcoming events that could be huge catalysts for bonds and in turn equities. Along with the Fed's policy update, he is also waiting for the US Treasury Department's financing plans due out today.
All 11 of the S&P 500's major industry sectors advanced, with real estate up 2 per cent and leading gains, while the biggest laggard, communication services, gained 0.2 per cent. Earlier in the day, data showing a solid increase in US labour costs in the third quarter prompted some concerns the Fed could keep interest rates higher for longer.
