Today was a mixed trading day on somewhat light trading pre-holiday volume throughout most of the trading day and there was no real feeling for a positive or negative close until the afternoon. A drop of 11% in new house sales in November added concerns over the housing recovery. This was in contrast to personal income and spending rising 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively, in November. Oil had a solid day with a $2.22 gain to $76.62 close on big inventory draw-downs. Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,466.44 +1.51 (0.01%)
S&P 500 1,120.59 +2.57 (0.23%)
Nasdaq 2,269.64 +16.97 (0.75%)
