  • US stocks opened higher on Friday after the government released better-than-expected retail sales data, showing consumers are still spending even without a new stimulus package from the government. About 30 minutes into trading, the benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.7 percent at 28,705.01. The broad-based S&P 500 climbed 0.5 percent to hit 3,501.86, while the tech-rich Nasdaq rose to 11,785.10, a gain of 0.6 percent. US retail sales climbed 1.9 percent in September, triple expectations, with purchases of cars and parts, clothing and sporting goods increasing dramatically, according to the Commerce Department report released before markets opened. The data was a reassuring sign of the economy's resilience after key provisions of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act preventing layoffs and providing support to consumers expired in recent months. Democrats and Republicans have been negotiating on another stimulus package but growing signs that nothing would be approved before the November 3 presidential election has sent indices closing lower in recent days. "Retail sales for last month far exceeded expectations to add to the economic recovery theme," Charles Schwab analysts said, adding that traders saw "glimmers of optimism" following market close yesterday with news that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin may yield to some Democratic demands on Covid-19 testing to get a stimulus deal passed. However, separate data from the Federal Reserve showed industrial production in September declining for the first time in five months, losing 0.6 percent as manufacturing and utilities fell. Pfizer was up 1.9 percent after announcing they would seek emergency authorization for their Covid-19 vaccine in late November. Boeing was up 4.1 percent after the director of the European Union's aviation safety agency told Bloomberg the grounded 737 MAX aircraft was safe to fly again and could return to the skies by the end of the year. cs/hs
