Meanwhile, the household consumer price index (CPI) slipped 0.4 percent year-on-year in November, compared to the market consensus of a 0.3 percent dip, while November household spending also fell 1.5 percent from the previous year.

Stocks close flat as Dow fails to reach 20,000 ahead of Christmas U.S. equities closed mostly flat on Friday ahead of the Christmas holiday, as the Dow Jones industrial average failed again to reach the psychologically important level of 20,000. The Dow closed about 15 points higher, with UnitedHealth contributing the most gains. " This is the last full trading week of the year. The Dow has been flirting with 20,000 and what I think is happening is a pause to digest a massive move higher, " Said Adam Sarhan, CEO at 50 Park Investments." The market does not go straight up. I think this market action is healthy. " Trading volume in the U.S. deposits this week, as most investors and traders have left their offices in light of the Christmas holiday. U.S. markets will be closed Monday in observance of the holiday. " Many of those who work at buy side have been left for the tropics or the mountains. Although the extremely thin liquidity ahead of the long weekend make stocks susceptible to a bit of bullying, shares should drift quietly during the next several hours, Said Jeremy Klein, chief market strategist at FBN Securities. In economic news, consumer sentiment for December came in at 98.2, above the expected read of 98.0. New home sales rose 5.2 percent last month, more than expected.

Straits Times Index 2,871.05 -0.38% -10.99 ▼
Singapore shares finish lower STI down 2.2% for week THE penultimate week of 2016 was not memorable as the Trump-inspired rally of the previous five weeks lost momentum and as liquidity drained rapidly away. On Friday, the eve of Christmas eve, the Straits Times Index dropped 10.99 points to 2,871.05, bringing its loss for the week to 66 points or 2.2 per cent. To be honest though, this was not surprising - the Christmas / New Year holiday period traditionally sees trading wind down to a virtual standstill as traders close their books and depart for their vacations, and this year was no different. |
