International stocks trading in New York were mixed on Monday. The BNY Mellon index of American depositary receipts edged down 0.19% to 142.26. The European index edged up 0.04% to 140.31, the Asian index dropped 0.23% to 150.31, the Latin American index fell 2.28% to 205.71 and the emerging markets index declined 1.18% to 255.17. Among the companies with shares that actively traded was WPP PLC (WPPGY, WPP.LN).
WPP reported an increase in full-year net profit and forecast sales and profitability this year will grow at a rate similar to 2014 as companies remain focused on cutting costs in a fragile economic and geopolitical environment. The advertising giant, considered a bellwether for the global economy, said caution is again the watchword this year amid risks such as the fragile eurozone economy and tensions in the Middle East. Shares rose 2.5% to $118.37.
Indian shares extended their declines as investors booked profits after a post-budget rally and surprise rate cut by the central bank last week. Among the biggest decliners, Sesa Sterlite Ltd. (SSLT, 500295.BY) dropped 4.9% to $12.72 and Infosys Ltd. (INFY, 500209.BY) fell 1.2% to $34.83.
Sasol Ltd. (SSL, SOL.JO) has cut 1,500 jobs and said more will go--the latest big round of layoffs in a global oil sector scrambling to cope with the oil-price rout. Head count at the South African petrochemicals giant will be "dramatically down" by June, with Sasol pressing ahead with steep cuts in capital spending and a reduction in its annual dividend, Chief Executive Officer David Constable said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Shares fell 31 cents to $33.67.
Brazil's mobile-phone subscriptions rose in January despite the country's sluggish economy. Total mobile-phone users in the country reached 281.7 million in January, up from 280.73 million in December. Beneficiaries of the growth in mobile-phone subscriptions include Telefonica Brasil SA (VIV, VIVT4.BR), also known as Vivo, part of Spain's Telefonica SA (TEF, TEF.MC), and TIM Participacoes SA (TSU, TIMP3.BR). However, Telefonica Brasil shares fell 3.7% to $15.78 and TIM Participacoes shares fell 1.5% to $18.61 amid a broader downturn in Brazilian stocks.
