The US markets ended flat with a negative bias on Friday. The trade remained lack lusture throughout the day as many traders remained away from trading following the Christmas Day holiday on Wednesday. Also, lack of major US economic data too kept some traders on the sidelines following the recent string of upbeat economic reports. Meanwhile, the London-based economic consultancy, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), has said that China won't eclipse the US economy until 2028. According to the CEBR's World Economic League Table, China's rise to the world's number one economy will be much slower than previously thought, due to both strength in the U.S. economy and the relative slowdown in China's domestic economy.
