Analyst View
The U.S. stock markets consolidated the second day straight gain at the Thursday trading session as investors internalised the implications of the proposed Federal Reserve’s plans for tapering its asset purchases and raising interest rates.

All the market segments were positive with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 507 points, or 1.48%, while the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite index advanced 1.21% and 1.04%, respectively.

In Europe, France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAX 30 advanced 0.98% and 0.88%, respectively. Britain’s FTSE 100 slipped 0.07% after the Bank of England withheld its policy position and downgraded its growth forecast. Asian bourses were higher with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and China’s Shanghai Composite rallying 0.38% and 1.19%, respectively. Japan’s Nikkei 225 was closed for holiday.

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude oil edged up $1.07 to $73.30 a barrel and gold fell $29 to $1,747.70 an ounce.
