Analyst View
The performance of the US Indexes were mixed for Thursday's trading session with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rallying to record highs a day after the Federal Reserve announced plans to begin tapering asset purchases. The S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite index rose 0.42% and 0.81%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 32 points or 0.09%. The Dow's loss pushed the index off its own record peak.

The Fed tapering is expected to commence later this month with a scale-back of its purchases of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities. Markets are pricing in the first-rate increase to occur in July.

Commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude oil slid $2.05 to $78.81 a barrel and gold climbed $29.40 to $1,793 an ounce.

In Europe, Britain’s FTSE 100 hinged up 0.43% after the Bank of England surprised investors by holding rates near zero. Elsewhere in the region, France’s CAC 40 rose 0.53% and Germany’s DAX 30 advanced 0.44%.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 paced the gains in Asia, trading up 0.93%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and China’s Shanghai Composite rallied 0.8% and 0.81%, respectively.
