Overseas Market
Report
A late sell-off forced stocks to end
mostly flat as investors parsed through the statements
following the Federal Open Market Committee's policy
meeting. Fed officials said they would extend their
bond-buying program into next year, which created bullish
market sentiment. However, they also lowered their gross
domestic product growth forecasts and now don't expect the
unemployment rate to fall to around 6.5% until
2015.
Separately, import prices in the United States fell
by 0.9% in November from October's reading, more than the
expected 0.5% decline. Such prices are down 1.6% compared
with the same time last year, with the most recent drop led
by fuel costs, and this has led to a decrease in inflation
pressures. .. Read More
