Stocks Finish Flat on Consumer Confidence, Housing Data

U.S. consumer confidence spiked more than forecast to 64.5 in December, from 55.2 last month, according to the Conference Board. The average economist estimate was for an increase to 58.3, according to Thomson Reuters, reflecting an improving U.S. jobs market. Higher confidence bodes well for consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the U.S. economy. Energy stocks gave the broader market a boost as oil futures broke above $100 a barrel. February futures for crude settled up $1.66 at $101.34 on the back of stronger demand and tensions in the Middle East after Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz. Chevron exchange-traded fund was up 0.1%. Weighing on market sentiment, however, was a report suggesting housing market recovery will remain sluggish. The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index of national home prices fell 1.2% in October. Economists had expected to see only a 0.4% drop for the month, according to Thomson Reuters. "The week opened with one of the most uninspired trading sessions in three-years in terms of volumes," Ian Lygen, market strategist with CRT Capital Group, wrote in a note. "This action came despite the sharp upside surprise in Consumer Confidence - not to suggest that the data was irreverent, but rather that there was no one around to trade it." U.S. corporate and economic news is expected to be light with four sessions left in the year. Many on Wall Street are taking advantage of two back-to-back long weekends. Headlines from Europe may ease before resurfacing in early 2012, although investors are closely watching news out of Italy. Yields on Italian 10-year bonds are close to 7%, indicating nervousness ahead of a series of Italian debt auctions Wednesday. How successful the auctions are will reflect the market's confidence in Italy's ability to solve its debt problems as well as the overall state of the eurozone debt crisis. Some European and Asian markets, including the U.K. and Hong Kong, were still closed Tuesday.
