Market and Economy News Update


U.S. markets drop over one percent: Markets accelerated their selloff in the final hour of trading on Friday and recorded their worst weekly decline for the year, as a slowdown in Chinese growth overshadowed a slew of better-than-expected earnings results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI), the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) and the NASDAQ (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) all closed deep in the red.



U.S. consumer prices rise in March: US consumer prices rose 0.3 per cent in March, in line with economists’ expectations, as falling electricity costs countered higher gasoline prices. The core consumer price index, which excludes more volatile food and energy costs, rose 0.2 percent after gaining 0.1 percent in February, Labor Department data showed today in Washington.


Consumer sentiment falls in April: The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index in early April dropped to 75.7 from 76.2 last month, as consumers felt more cautious about the current state of the economy. Economists were expecting the preliminary April reading to remain at 76.2.
