On Thursday, US stock markets rose moderately, helped by an increase in the quotations of the industrial goods sector and the utilities sector, as well as statements by Fed Chairman Powell.
Powell said the Fed has the ability to be patient with monetary policy, given the stable price measures. He also downplayed the forecasts of politicians who assume that interest rates will be raised two more times this year.
"Especially when inflation is low and under control, we have the opportunity to be patient and patiently and carefully observe, as we ... find out which of these two narratives will become the story of 2019," said Powell about the good impulse in economic data. and, on the other hand, concerns about financial risk markets.
“There is no plan,” Powell added, when he was asked about the December forecasts by Fed politicians, showing that they expect an average of two more rate increases in 2019 after four last year. "This was due to a very strong forecast for 2019, which can still materialize," he added.
However, retailer stocks were under pressure after Macy's (M) retailer reported weak sales during the holiday period in 2018 and lowered its earnings forecast for the year to $ 3.95-4.00 per share from the previously projected $ 4.10 -4.30. According to Refinitiv, the average forecast of analysts assumed $ 4.23. The value of M shares on the premarket has fallen by more than 18%. Frustrating data also came from Kohl's (KSS) and Target Corp (TGT).
Most of the components of DOW recorded an increase (20 of 30). The growth leader was the shares of The Boeing Company (BA, + 2.55%). Pfizer Inc. shares turned out to be an outsider. (PFE, -2.38%).
Almost all sectors of the S & P finished trading in positive territory. The largest growth was shown by the industrial goods sector (+ 1.4%), only the conglomerate sector decreased (-0.2%)

'Situation Remained Fragile, Fluid; New Uncertainties Could Emerge'
New home builders in 18 of the 27 census metropolitan areas (CMAs) reported flat or decreasing prices in November.
The largest declines were in Regina (-0.6%) and St. John's (-0.4%), with decreases in both CMAs linked to unfavourable market conditions.
Prices in Regina and St. John's have been down or flat for 10 out of 11 months in 2018. According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the inventory of newly completed and unsold single-family dwellings was up in both CMAs in November compared with the same month a year earlier. Single-family dwellings include row, single and semi-detached houses.
New home prices were down in the three CMAs surveyed in British Columbia. Lower selling prices were the primary reason for the 0.3% decrease in Vancouver, while builders in Victoria and Kelowna (both down 0.1%) tied the dip in prices to promotional offers to stimulate sales.
Higher construction intentions for commercial buildings drove most of the gain.
The value of non-residential building permits rose 11.6% to $3.3 billion in November. Construction intentions rose in five provinces, with British Columbia accounting for most of the gain.
In the commercial component, the value of building permits was up 16.8% to $2.1 billion, the highest level since May 2007. The increase was led by higher construction intentions for office buildings in the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Vancouver and Québec.
Following three consecutive monthly declines, the value of industrial building permits rose 21.9% to $527 million in November. The increase was mainly attributable to permits for new agricultural buildings.
In the week ending January 5, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 216,000, a decrease of 17,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised up by 2,000 from 231,000 to 233,000. The 4-week moving average was 221,750, an increase of 2,500 from the previous week's revised average. The previous week's average was revised up by 500 from 218,750 to 219,250.
