It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

There’s still a lot of red numbers.  But you know, Santa wears red.  So it ain’t all bad.  A Heaux, Heaux, Heaux market???

 

U.S. stocks fell a fourth day, the longest slump in 10 weeks for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, as investors weighed economic data for clues on the timing of Federal Reserve stimulus cuts amid optimism over a budget deal.

     

ADP data released today showed companies boosted payrolls in November by the most in a year.  Some economists are predicting that the Labor Department data on Friday will show the unemployment rate fell to 7.2 percent, matching the lowest level since 2008.

 

A separate report indicated service industries in the U.S. expanded at a slower pace than forecast in November, showing uneven progress in the biggest part of the economy. Purchases of new U.S. homes surged in October by the most in three decades, signaling buyers are starting to take higher mortgage rates in stride.  Gains in manufacturing, technology and housing kept the economy expanding at a “modest to moderate” pace from early October through mid-November, the Fed said today in its Beige Book business survey, which contains anecdotal reports from the 12 Fed district banks.
