1 24 April, 2017 Traders were cautious prior to Sunday s French election US markets US stocks gyrated between gains and losses as traders looked ahead to Sunday s elections in France. At the close, the Dow Jones industrials were down 0.2 percent, the S&P lost 0.3 percent and the Nasdaq slipped 0.1 percent. However, on the week, the three indices advanced 0.5 percent, 0.8 percent and 1.8 percent respectively. The choppy trading occurred amid geopolitical uncertainty prior to the first round of voting Sunday. With no candidate expected to win more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates will likely head to a runoff on May 7. Traders largely ignored the March existing home sales report that indicated sales jumped to their highest level in ten years. Existing home sales jumped 4.4 percent to an annual rate of 5.71 million after slumping by 3.9 percent to a downwardly revised 5.47 million February. Kindred Healthcare moved sharply higher after a report from Reuters said the acute care provider is exploring a possible sale. Honeywell posted a strong gain after reporting better than expected first quarter results and raising the low end of its full-year earnings guidance. Mattel retreated after the toymaker reported a wider than expected first quarter loss on revenues that came in below expectations. Schlumberger dropped after reporting first quarter earnings that matched estimates but on weaker than expected revenues. General Electric declined after the company reported negative cash flow from its industrial operations in the first quarter. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer told CNBC that the central bank remains on track for two more interest rate increases this year despite some soft economic data recently. These data reflect observations at 4:00 PM US ET. Gold at the afternoon London fixing was down 25 US cents to US$1, Copper futures were down 0.2 percent to US$2.55.

Restaurant Group was lower after the company said that its Chief Financial Officer, will step down from the board and leave the company immediately. Rio Tinto advanced on a broker upgrade.

Asia Pacific Markets Most stock indices advanced Friday after the Nasdaq hit record high overnight, buoyed by solid earnings and on optimism for a US tax overhaul. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicated on Thursday that the Trump administration is close to bringing forward a major tax reform plan "very soon", regardless of the outcome of a healthcare overhaul bill. The Japanese yen weakened and crude prices rose after four days of losses during the Asian trading session, further supporting sentiment prior to Sunday s presidential election in France. The Shanghai Composite was virtually unchanged (up 1.05 points) while the Hang Seng slipped 0.1 percent. On the week, the Shanghai Composite was down 2.2 percent while the Hang Seng was 0.9 percent lower. Investors were concerned about cooling growth and tightening regulatory scrutiny.
