Stocks Lower After Data

Jeremy Glaser

U.S. Market
Stocks were lower this morning after some economic data and ahead of a key ECB meeting later this week and jobs data due on Friday.

The Chicago PMI, which measures the strength of the Midwest manufacturing sector, fell to 48.7 in November from 56.2 in the previous month. Any reading below 50 indicates a contraction in activity.

Pending home sales were up 0.2% in October, a smaller-than-expected increase. The National Association of Realtors, which produces the report, says the gains are being held back by higher prices and small inventories.

At midday the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all down between 0.2% and 0.3%.
