14 Nov 2015 Evaluate
US markets extended their losing streak on Friday, with the S&P 500 closing lower for the seventh time in eight sessions, on getting disappointing retail sales data, while a separate Labor Department report showed an unexpected drop in producer prices in October. Producer price index for final demand fell by 0.4 percent in October after sliding by 0.5 percent in September. Excluding food and energy prices, core producer prices still dropped by 0.3 percent, matching the decrease seen in the previous month. But the data are not likely prevent the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates next month.

The Commerce Department reported that US retail sales rose less than expected in the month of October. The report said retail sales inched up by 0.1 percent in October, while revised data showed that sales were virtually unchanged in September. Excluding a pullback in auto sales, retail sales rose by 0.2 percent in October following a revised 0.4 percent drop in September. 

Traders largely shrugged off a report from the University of Michigan showing a bigger than expected improvement in consumer sentiment in November. The University of Michigan said the preliminary reading on its consumer sentiment index for November rose to 93.1 from the final October reading of 90.0. 

The Dow Jones Industrial average tumbled 202.83 points or 1.16 percent to 17,245.24, the Nasdaq declined by 77.20 points or 1.54 percent to 4,927.88 and the S&P 500 slumped by 22.93 points or 1.1 percent to 2,023.04.

The Indian ADRs closed mostly in red, HDFC Bank was down by 0.23%, ICICI Bank was down by 0.07%, Infosys was down by 0.34%, Tata Motors was down by 0.33% and Wipro was down by 0.04%.
