Major US stock markets ended the session mainly in the red, as the rally caused by the progress in the US-China trade negotiations subsided. Pressure on the indices also had a drop in the quotes of the conglomerate sector.

According to the report, the number of initial claims for unemployment benefits declined by 27,000 during the week of December 2–8, averaging 206,000 with seasonal adjustments. -year minimum, reached in September. It was expected that the number of applications will be 225,000.
