Major US stock indexes finished trading in the red after the latest data on retail sales showed an increase in inflation and pushed the yield of treasury bonds, while trade problems in the negotiations between the US and China remained without signs of progress.
As the report of the Ministry of Trade showed, retail sales in the US only slightly increased in April. According to the report, retail sales increased seasonally by 0.3% m / m last month, as economists had forecast. The increase in spending last month was mostly widespread: food and beverage stores, as well as clothing and accessories retailers, experienced the largest increase in sales since last year. On the contrary, weak spending was observed in restaurants and bars, which declined by 0.3% since March. Sales at gas stations in April rose by 0.8% compared to the previous month, which was due to the recent increase in fuel prices. With the exception of gasoline and cars, costs rose 0.3% since March. With the exception of cars and auto parts, sales also rose by 0.3%. Economists had expected growth of 0.5% of retail sales excluding cars.
In addition, the index of the state of the housing market from the NAHB grew in May. The confidence of builders in the market of newly built houses for a single family rose by 2 points to 70 in May after the April reading of the NAHB / Wells Fargo housing market index (HMI). This is the fourth time that the HMI has reached 70 or higher this year.
Almost the majority of S & P sectors recorded a decline. The greatest decrease was shown by the sector of conglomerates (-1.5%). The commodities sector grew most (+ 0.9%).
Almost all components of DOW finished trading in the red (28 of 30). Outsider were shares of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, -1.93%). Leader of the growth were shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, + 0.83%).
All S & P sectors recorded a decline. The largest drop was shown by the healthcare sector (-1.3%).
At closing:
Dow 24,706.34 -193.07 -0.78%
S&P 500 2,711.45 -18.68 -0.68%
Nasdaq 100 7,351.63 -59.69 -0.81%
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes rose two points to 70 in May after a downwardly revised April reading on the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). This is the fourth time the HMI has reached 70 or higher this year.
"The solid May report shows that builders are buoyed by growing consumer demand for single-family homes," said NAHB Chairman Randy Noel. "However, the record high cost of lumber is hurting builders' bottom lines and making it more difficult to produce competitively priced houses for newcomers to the market."
Manufacturers' and trade inventories, adjusted for seasonal variations but not for price changes, were estimated at an end-of-month level of $1,929.6 billion, virtually unchanged from February 2018, but were up 3.8 percent (±0.3 percent) from March 2017.
The total business inventories/sales ratio based on seasonally adjusted data at the end of March was 1.34. The March 2017 ratio was 1.38.
Advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for April 2018, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $497.6 billion, an increase of 0.3 percent from the previous month, and 4.7 percent above April 2017. Total sales for the February 2018 through April 2018 period were up 4.6 percent from the same period a year ago. The February 2018 to March 2018 percent change was revised from up 0.6 percent to up 0.8 percent.
Retail trade sales were up 0.4 percent from March 2018, and 4.8 percent above last year. Gasoline Stations were up 11.7 percent from April 2017, while Nonstore Retailers were up 9.6 percent (±1.4 percent) from last year
U.S. stock-index futures fell on Tuesday as investors digested April retail sales and Q1 financials of Home Depot (HD), while awaiting news about the second round of trade talks between the U.S. and China.
