Wall Street ends quarter in record-setting flourish

Wall Street Thursday closed out an historic quarter with a flourish when the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both hit new record highs.
The finale was fitting for a quarter that has seen US equity markets march inexorably higher for the first part of 2013, taking few pauses along the way.
The gains have been fuelled by a generally improving economy, solid corporate earnings and an aggressive Federal Reserve stimulus policy that shows no signs of being revised.
The quarter has also seen some signs of renewed merger and acquisition activity, with proposed transactions announced involving Heinz and Berkshire Hathaway, US Airways and American Airlines and warring bids over computer maker Dell.
And most US banks were given a green light to repurchase stock and issue dividends following the Federal Reserve’s stress tests.
All in all, the US appears to be on the upswing after a long and difficult recession following the financial crisis of 2008.
For the quarter, the Dow gained 1,474.40 (11.25 per cent) to 14,578.54. The broad-based S&P 500 put on 143 points (10.03 per cent) to 1,569.19. And the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite added 248.01 (8.21 per cent) to 3,267.52.
The US’ fortunes stand in contrast to Europe, where the recent Cyprus banking crisis reignited concerns about the viability of eurozone. Investors are fixated on a weakening outlook for Germany, high unemployment in France and political instability in Italy. That the US markets gained in spite of the European is fresh evidence of a ‘decoupling,’ say some analysts.
