Analyst Update: Gold prices Updates andFinancial Results

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

U.S. stocks tumbled on Friday as disappointing financial results of big companies weighed on investor sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.54% or 279.67 points to close at 17,826.10, its worst drop since March 25; the Nasdaq fell 1.52%, or 75.98 points, to 4,931.81, and the S&P 500 closed the session at 2,081.16, down 1.1%, or 23.81 points. Among heavy weights, American Express plunged 4.4% on Friday, reflecting weaker than expected quarterly earnings. European stocks too closed lower on Friday as fear of Greek default intensifies. Notably, Germany's DAX Index dropped 2.6%, followed by France's CAC (down 1.6%), and Britain's FTSE 100 (down 0.9%). Meanwhile, Asian markets witnessed mixed trading on Friday, with China's Shanghai Composite Index reaching its highest level since March 2008, and the Nikkei closing at a lower level.

Shares of Yamana Gold (Yamana) jumped 6.0%, to close at $4.06 on April 15, 2015, on the back of heavy trading volume of 10.9 million shares, outpacing its previous four days average of around 7.0 million shares. According to the Wall Street Journal, gold prices rose due to concerns over financial problems in Greece.

On April 16, 2015, Verizon Inc. (Verizon), a provider of communications, information and entertainment products and services, announced content agreements with leading providers of college sports programming and networks focused on millennial viewers. The Company informed that the content will be available later this year for Verizon Wireless customers with data services on their smartphones and tablets.

Marathon Oil Corp. (Marathon Oil) shares advanced 4.4% on April 15, 2015 to close at a four and half months high of $30.7, mainly reflecting surging crude oil prices buoyed by increasing concerns regarding the ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East. The stock reported a trading volume of 10.77 million shares over the course of the day, substantially higher than its average daily volume 6.6 million shares in the last month.

Vantage Drilling Company (Vantage) shares advanced 25.0% to finish at $0.5 on April 15, 2015, after gaining 21.2% on the previous day. The stock has appreciated by 56.3% in the past one week, possibly on account of the sudden surge in oil prices. Moreover, the stock saw 8.5 million shares exchange hands on Wednesday, a sharp bounce from a volume of 1.86 million average daily shares over the last one month.

Shares of Southwestern Energy Company (Southwestern) surged 5.3% on April 15, 2015 and 10.7% in the past one week, largely supported by increasing oil prices on the back of weakening dollar and instability in the Middle Eastern region. The stock reported unusual high trading volume of 10.38 million shares yesterday, much higher than its 15day average of 6.9 million shares.
