Market wraps mixed; Dow sets fresh intraday records, S&P 500 hits 6 consecutive wins

WAN CHAI, Hong Kong - Nov. 15, 2021 - PRLog -- At session highs, the Dow soared more than 0.5 percent to set a new all-time intraday high, surpassing its previous high from August. The S&P 500 was also at a record high and had its longest winning streak since July, with its sixth straight day of gains.

On the other hand, Netflix's stock dropped despite exceeding Wall Street's forecasts for third-quarter profitability and subscriber growth. United Air Lines' stock increased after the airline reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss and revenue that above forecasts, but at a 32 percent lower level than in 2019.

These earnings reports, along with those from earlier reporting such as the large banks last week and Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson earlier this week, have helped alleviate traders' concerns that corporate profits would decline sharply following a second-quarter boom. Investors have been watching inflation data with bated breath, as prices have risen by the most in decades, despite a slew of claims of continuing labor and material shortages, as well as delivery concerns. All of these variables were predicted to have a significant impact on business profits.
