Market Continues to Pull Back, But Dow Breaks 10-Day Losing Streak | Wall Street Today
December 19th, the market tried its best to climb to recover from a post-FOMC crumble that sent indexes reeling. Instead, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower. At least the Dow Jones broke its 10-day losing streak by a gain of 15 points.
Just past 4 pm ET the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ fell 0.09%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ climbed 0.09%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ fell 0.10%.
The S&P 500 was down 3% for the week so far.

MACRO
PCE Core Prices, a sometimes leading indicator that indicates the changes in Core prices excluding food and gas, came in at 2.2% Thursday. PCE Prices measure the change in consumption without accounting for volume like PCE index numbers do. Last month, Core PCE Prices showed a 2.8% change, followed by PCE Core index prices matching the change the following day.
Investors will still await Friday's PCE numbers to check the FOMC inflation prediction. On Wednesday, the FOMC raised its prediction for end-of-year 2025 inflation to 2.5% and said it would only cut twice instead of four times, leading to worries that inflation was not slowing down as previously thought.
The final GDP revision for Q3 arrived Thursday morning. It shows that the economy grew at 3.1% in the third quarter of this year. In political news, Congress in the U.S. is grappling with a new budget plan that keeps facing hurdles of disagreement. Bloomberg reported that the Republican-controlled House reached a new agreement Thursday afternoon after Trump and Musk shot down their first deal.
