Varied data of last trading day of week, and also before holiday thin market led to that key stock indexes have continued trade in narrow ranges. Let\'s remind that durable goods orders in the USA grew on 4.4 % in November. Experts predicted increase only on 1.2 %. Other important indicator - final value of University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index in the USA made 91.5 for December, at the forecast 88.9, and the previous value 88.7. And another indicator – new home sales data in the USA made 1245000 for November, at the forecast 1305000, that became unpleasant surprise for the stock market’s participants. Thus the previous value has been revised from1424000 to 1404000. As a result Dow-Jones index of New York stock exchange has fallen on 6.17 points and was closed at a level 10883.27. NASDAQ index has grown on 2.93 points and is at a level 2249.42. S&P 500 index has risen on 0.54 point and is at a level 1268.66. Despite a proceeding trade in narrow ranges, we still wait for correction of key stock indexes.
