Last closure
On Monday, January 13, U.S. stocks fell the most since November, as investors weighed equity valuations and the outlook for economic stimulus. Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart said the U.S. economy is on “solid footing” and that he would support continued cuts to the central bank’s bond buying program. The case against faster reductions in stimulus may be boosted by data, with economists forecasting U.S. retail-sales growth slowed in December. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones has declined by 1.09%, S&P has lowered by 1.26%, Nasdaq has decreased by 1.47%.
European stocks advanced for a second day, as a global banking-supervision body eased rules linked to minimum-capital requirements for lenders. A gauge of banking shares climbed to its highest level since April 2011 after the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s announcement on capital requirements.
