The Commerce Department reports gross domestic product contracted by a 0.1% annual rate, down from 3.1% in the third quarter. Marketwatch forecast a 1.0% increase. The drop came from lower inventories and military spending. The economy expanded at 2.2% over all of 2012. |
|
ADP reports that The U.S. added 192,000 private-sector positions in January, led by a 177,000 jump in service jobs. |
|
European stocks fell, as the GDP data gave a downside surprise, while investors remain cautious ahead of this morning’s announcement from the Federal Reserve. The Stoxx Europe 600 index dropped 0.4% to 289.06, after rising on Tuesday to its highest close since February 2011. |
