On Wall Street, The Dow tumbled as much as 75 points intraday before closing 42 points lower at 12227 amid a mixed batch of economic data.
The weak January retail sales of 0.3% (consensus: +0.6%) and higher-than-expected Jan import price index of 1.5% (Dec: 1.2%) overshadowed the strong Feb Empire state report of 15.4 (consensus: 14.3). Sentiment was also jolted by the skyrocketing inflation in Britain (2-year high of 4% in Jan) and China (2-year high of 4.9% in Jan), sparking renewed speculation of more monetary tightening from Beijing.
After the bell, Dell’s results topped estimates and its prices jumped more than 6% in after-hours trading.
