On the global counter: Wall St gains on +ve home sales data; S&P hits 52-wk high while Asia trading mixed; Hang Seng down, Straits Times up. Broad-based buying sent the S&P 500 to fresh 52-week highs despite a surprise downward revision to third quarter GDP and a gain by the greenback. The higher than expected existing home sales supported sentiment. The market mood was tempered by news that third quarter GDP was determined to have increased at a slower-than-expected annualized rate of 2.2%, lower than consensus prediction. The housing data of course provided some relief. It showed that existing home sales climbed at a stronger-than-expected clip of 7.4% month-over-month. That lifted the annualized rate to 6.54 million units. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 50.79 points, or 0.5%, to 10,464.93. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 3.97 points, or 0.4%, to 1,118.02, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 15.01 points, or 0.7%, to 2,252.67.
