Major US stock indexes ended the session in different directions, as the fall in industrial goods sector quotes offset the growth of technology stocks against the background of signs of progress between China and the United States in resolving the trade dispute.
The US and China began another round of trade negotiations with a telephone conversation between US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, the White House Trade Representative for Laytheiser and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He. This showed that the dialogue between the two countries on trade issues continues, despite a diplomatic dispute over the arrest of the Chief Financial Officer of Huawei.

NOC said that the shutdown would result in a loss of production of 315,000 barrels per day and an additional loss of 73,000 barrels per day at the El Feel field.

The Producer Price Index for final demand edged up 0.1 percent in November, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices advanced 0.6 percent in October and 0.2 percent in September. On an unadjusted basis, the final demand index moved up 2.5 percent for the 12 months ended in November.
In November, the rise in the final demand index can be traced to a 0.3-percent increase in prices for final demand services. In contrast, the index for final demand goods decreased 0.4 percent.
The index for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services moved up 0.3 percent in November, the third consecutive increase. For the 12 months ended in November, prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services advanced 2.8 percent.
Oil investors were weighing Tuesday the efficacy of a 1.2-million-barrel-a-day output cut announced by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies at the end of last week.

The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany recorded an increase of 6.6 points in December 2018 and now stands at minus 17.5 points. Despite this increase, the indicator is still clearly in negative territory and remains well below the long-term average of 22.5 points. The assessment of the current economic situation in Germany once again decreased considerably in December, with the corresponding indicator falling by 12.9 points to a level of 45.3 points.
“Although the rise in economic expectations is a welcome one, it should not be over-interpreted. The assessment of the economic situation has worsened dramatically for both Germany and the Eurozone. This is indicative of relatively weak economic growth in the fourth quarter. In addition, uncertainties also remain in terms of the looming international trade dispute and Brexit, which have a particularly negative impact on private investment and Germany’s exports,” comments ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach.

The employment rate (the proportion of people aged from 16 to 64 years who were in work) was estimated at 75.7%, higher than for a year earlier (75.1%) and the joint-highest estimate since comparable estimates began in 1971.
There were an estimated 1.38 million unemployed people (people not in work but seeking and available to work), 20,000 more than for May to July 2018 but 49,000 fewer than for a year earlier.
The unemployment rate (the number of unemployed people as a proportion of all employed and unemployed people) was estimated at 4.1%, virtually unchanged compared with May to July 2018 but lower than the estimate for a year earlier (4.3%).
