Analyst Update: Financial Results, Acquisitions, Upcoming
Earnings and Private Placement
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli,
CFA®
The U.S. stock market on Wednesday ended the day in green,
following the Federal Reserve's (Fed) dovish tone at the conclusion
of its two-day meeting, shrugging off the falling oil worries and
deflationary concerns. Fed's Chairwoman Janet Yellen sounded positive on the economy but
noted that there was room for improvement. Yellen also stated that
inflation is running below the Fed's 2% target inflation rate, but
expects to see normalization. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) recorded their best one day performance
in 2014. The S&P 500 advanced 2.04%, DJIA gained 1.69%, and the
Nasdaq Composite moved up 2.12%. Asian markets were mixed on
Wednesday as investors awaited the outcome of the Federal Reserve
policy meeting. The European stock market also witnessed a late
recovery, as a rebound in energy stocks and new signs of economic
stimulus measures from the European Central Bank lifted shares.
