Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Bank of America and Citigroup
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2018 / U.S. markets spiked to session highs after minutes from the Fed's January meeting were released, but then dropped as yields for the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.95 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average touched a high of 25,267.99, before settling to close at 24,797.78, down 0.67 percent, while the S&P 500 Index hit a high of 2,747.75 before settling to close at 2,701.33, a decrease of 0.55 percent. The Nasdaq Composite Index touched a high of 7,338.64 in intraday trading before settling to close at 7,218.23, a decrease of 0.22 percent.
"Today's minutes didn't give us much of what we didn't already know: rates are going up this year, inflation is rising modestly, unemployment remains low, and wages are ticking up, albeit slightly," said Mike Loewengart, vice president of investment strategy at E-Trade, according to CNBC. "The economy does not feel overheated, it feels like it's continuing its positive momentum from last year. Should we see a string of inflation metrics that suggests otherwise, then the thesis changes."
