Last closure
On Friday, January 4, trades in USA have come to the end with decrease, despite a stronger-than-expected jobs report that signaled continued health in the U.S. economy. U.S. employers added to payrolls at a solid pace last month, a sign of steady momentum for the labor market after the strongest year of job growth in 15 years. Nonfarm payrolls rose a seasonally adjusted 252,000 in December, with broad-based gains across a wide array of sectors. The unemployment rate, which is obtained from a separate survey of U.S. households, was 5.6% in December, down two- tenths of a percentage point from the prior month and now at its lowest level since June 2008. The decline was partly because some people dropped out of the workforce. Economists had predicted payrolls would rise by 240,000 in December and the unemployment rate would tick down to 5.7%. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones has declined by 0.95%, S&P has lowered by 0.84%, Nasdaq has decreased by 0.68%.
European stock exchanges closed with decrease of main indexes, on mounting concerns that deflationary pressure will dampen global economic growth. ECB’s Governing Council last week was presented with models for buying as much as 500 billion euros ($592.68 billion) of AAA-rated debt or bonds rated at least BBB-, just a cut above junk. The ECB has previously said it wants to boost its balance sheet by €1 trillion. German industrial production unexpectedly fell for the first time in three months in November as energy output slumped, signaling that the recovery in Europe’s largest economy remains vulnerable. Output, adjusted for seasonal swings, fell 0.1% from October, when it climbed a revised 0.6%. Economists predicted an increase of 0.3%, according to the median of 25 estimates. Production dropped 0.5%% from a year earlier. On the day’s result, British FTSE has declined by 1.05%, CAC 40 (France) has decreased by 1.90%, DAX (Germany) has lowered by 1.92%.
