Today U.S. indices rose as the non-farm-payroll report indicated that employers were hiring at a steady pace in December. The Labor Department said jobs increased by 155,000 last month which is just below the level in November. Gains in employment varied greatly throughout the economy, from healthcare to construction and manufacturing. In addition, the Institute of Supply Management released data that showed the service sector in the U.S. grew at its most rapid pace in the past 10 months in December, boosted by an increase in new orders.
Today European indices hit new 22-month highs after data indicated the U.S. economy is recovering but not growing enough for the Federal Reserve to stop its monetary easing program.
The DJ30 closed at 13,432.67 gaining 41.31 points (0.31%), SPX500 closed at 1,466.47 gaining 7.10 points (0.49%) and the NASDAQ100 closed at 2,724.49, declining 7.77 points (-0.28%).
The CAC40 closed at 3,730.02 gaining 8.85 points (0.24%), FTSE100 closed at 6,089.84 gaining 42.5 points (0.70%) and DAX40 closed at 7,776.37 gaining 19.93 points (0.26%).
Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares have continued its downtrend of recent months and are pressuring the Nasdaq index. Another factor that is increasing worries about the company to create innovative products is that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is likely going to increase its lead over Apple in global sales of smartphones this year by 35%. Many analysts believe that future of the company depends on the release of a new product line. Many analysts think that the iPad mini is not new enough to change the bottom line of the company.
