April 13 Market Close: GovCon Index Hits 75 for First Time in 2016 on 1% Surge


GovConIndexUPThe GovCon Index rode across-the-board positive activity in U.S. markets Wednesday with a gain of 1.224 percent to 75.399, which represents the GCI’s first close above 75 points this year so far under its current 30-company composition.

First-quarter earnings from JPMorgan that topped analyst estimates drove the S&P 500 composite index to fully reverse its year-to-date decline, and traders also welcomed data that showed China exports showed an increase in March for the first time in nine months, according to Reuters.

Financial stocks in the S&P 500 posted a 2-percent gain and investors await more financial results from banks this week, Reuters reported.
