dow2664 Stock Market Trends; DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Today: After closing the last several trading sessions of January on a weaker note, the primary U.S. indices climbed higher during the opening trading session of February. Although the DJIA , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 finished the month of January higher overall, the last week’s worth of sessions were mixed. Investors were happy to see the trends climb higher as February opened. Economic date during the session was mixed however. Economic News Posts Today: Economic news posting in the U.S. last session was mixed again. According to the ADP report, companies added 170,000 jobs in January which ended up being weaker than what analysts were expecting. In addition to this negatively skewed report, the Institute for Supply Management’s index of manufacturing activity posted at 54.1 last month and this was several tenths below the expected estimates. Adding to the mixed bag of reports was the data that reflected a rise in U.S. construction spending. The Commerce Department said that building outlays rose by almost three times that which was expected. Ultimately, the market found positive ground during the session and the positive trends were viewed as an extension of the overall gains marked in January. Today’s Trends for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Close Review: All three primary index composites tracked positively during the opening session of February.
