Major US stock indices fell slightly, as the continuing decline in health care stocks offset the exceeding expectations from economic data from China and the predominantly positive reporting by companies.
As it became known, China's GDP in the first quarter grew by 6.4% year on year, helped by growth in industrial production and retail sales in March. Economists had expected a weaker growth - by 6.3%. Strong Chinese economic indicators weakened concerns that the global economy is slowing.
The focus of market participants was also the report of the Ministry of Commerce, which showed that the US trade deficit in February fell to an eight-month low. According to the report, the trade deficit fell by 3.4% to $ 49.4 billion - the lowest level since June 2018. The trade deficit in January remained unchanged at $ 51.1 billion. Economists had forecast that the trade deficit would increase to $ 53.5 billion in February.
Another report by the Ministry of Commerce indicated that wholesale inventories rose less-than-expected in February. According to the report, wholesale inventories rose by 0.2% in February after increasing by 1.2% in January. Economists had expected stocks to grow by 0.5%.
Most of the components of DOW recorded an increase (19 of 30). The growth leader was Intel Corp. (INTC; + 3.24%). The outsider was Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK, -4.85%).
Sector S & P ended the bidding in different directions. The consumer goods sector grew the most (+ 0.6%). The largest decline was shown by the health sector (-2.9%).

The Bank of Japan issued a warning for the first time in 20 years that financial institutions may be over-extending real estate loans.
Nearly 60% of regional banks could suffer net losses a decade from now if corporate borrowing keeps falling at the current trend, the central bank said in a semi-annual report on Japan's banking system.
The report highlights the mounting demerits of prolonged monetary easing such as the damage it is inflicting on financial institutions' profits.
"As regional banks have generally not been able to secure profits commensurate with the increase in risk-weighed assets, their capital adequacy ratios and stress resilience have declined moderately. Should this situation persist, downward pressure on the real economy from the financial system could intensify," the BOJ said in the report.

Intra-euro area trade rose to €326.8 bn in January-February 2019, up by 3.5% compared with January-February 2018
According to the report from Eurostat, the euro area annual inflation rate was 1.4% in March 2019, down from 1.5% in February 2019. A year earlier, the rate was 1.4%. European Union annual inflation was 1.6% in March 2019, stable compared to February 2019. A year earlier, the rate was 1.6%.
The lowest annual rates were registered in Portugal (0.8%) and Greece (1.0%). The highest annual rates were recorded in Romania (4.2%), Hungary (3.8%) and the Netherlands (2.9%). Compared with February 2019, annual inflation fell in six Member States, remained stable in two and rose in nineteen.
In March 2019, the highest contribution to the annual euro area inflation rate came from energy (+0.52 percentage points, pp), followed by services (+0.51 pp), food, alcohol & tobacco (+0.34 pp) and non-energy industrial goods (+0.04 pp).
Office for National Statistics said, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) 12-month rate was 1.9% in March 2019, unchanged from February 2019.
The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 1.8% in March 2019, unchanged from February 2019.
Rising prices for motor fuels and clothing produced the largest upward contributions to change in the rate between February and March 2019. The largest, offsetting, downward contributions came from across a range of recreational and cultural goods, food and motor vehicles.
A separate report from the ONS showed that the headline rate of output inflation for goods leaving the factory gate was 2.4% on the year to March 2019, which is unchanged from February 2019.
The growth rate of prices for materials and fuels used in the manufacturing process was 3.7% on the year to March 2019, down from 4.0% in February 2019.
All product groups provided upward contributions to output annual inflation. Fuel provided the largest upward contribution to the annual rate of input inflation, despite falling on the month.
According to the report from European Central Bank, the current account of the euro area recorded a surplus of €27 billion in February 2019, decreasing by €10 billion compared with January 2019. Surpluses were recorded for goods (€26 billion), services (€6 billion) and primary income (€7 billion). These were partly offset by a deficit for secondary income (€13 billion).
In the 12 months to February 2019, the current account recorded a surplus of €335 billion (2.9% of euro area GDP), compared with one of €374 billion (3.3% of euro area GDP) in the 12 months to February 2018. This decline was driven mainly by smaller surpluses for goods (down from €324 billion to €278 billion) and services (down from €110 billion to €102 billion), and by a larger deficit for secondary income (up from €141 billion to €157 billion). These developments were only partly offset by a larger surplus for primary income (up from €82 billion to €112 billion).
Britain's markets watchdog will review its rules as the country readies to leave the EU, the source of its financial regulation for decades.
"Post-Brexit, we need to consider the future of regulation to ensure the regulatory landscape is fit for the challenge it faces," the Financial Conduct Authority said.
The watchdog's chief executive, Andrew Bailey, said Brexit will be the most immediate challenge its faces. "In order to ensure we are a regulator that continues to serve the public interest, we need to adapt to the ever-changing environment," Bailey said.
Frustrated U.S. businesses can no longer be counted on as a "positive anchor" in U.S.-China relations, a top U.S. business lobby said, arguing any deal to end trade tensions must address structural problems in China's economic system.
"Crucially, the mood has shifted," the American Chamber of Commerce in China said in a statement accompanying its annual report on China's business climate.
"The U.S. business community in China, so long an advocate of good bilateral relations, can no longer be relied upon to be a positive anchor. U.S. companies continue to face an uncertain operating environment in China amid decreasing optimism about their investment outlook," it said.
According to Karen Jones, analyst at Commerzbank, EUR/USD pair is holding steady at the 55 and 100 day moving averages at 1.1308/48, and they view it as consolidating.
“The 1.1176 recent low is regarded as an interim low and we suspect that the market is trying to base but needs to do more work (we note the 13 count on the weekly chart and this adds weight to the idea of a potential base). Initial resistance is the 100 day ma at 1.1348 and the resistance line at 1.1391 ahead of the 200 day ma at 1.1441. The cross should target the 1.1570 January high, together with the 55 week ma at 1.1551. Below 1.1185/75 (61.8% retracement) lies the 1.1110, the May 2017 low and the 1.0814/78.6% retracement.”
According to the report from European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). in March 2019, the European passenger car market contracted by 3.9%, falling from 1,792,880 units the year before to 1,722,442 last month. Demand decreased in all major EU markets. Italy posted the highest percentage drop (-9.6%), followed by Spain (-4.3%), the United Kingdom (-3.4%), France (-2.3%) and Germany (-0.5%).
Three months into the year, demand for new cars in the European Union declined by 3.3%, totalling 4,032,881 units. In Germany, registrations remained almost flat (+0.2%), while the other key markets performed worse than in the first quarter of 2018 − most notably Spain (-6.9%) and Italy (-6.5%).
Goldman Sachs Chief Executive David Solomon said that the chances of the U.S. economy soon entering a recession are lower now than they were earlier this year.
“I don’t see any data in any way, shape or form that leads me to believe that that chance is accelerating at the moment,” Solomon told.
Solomon told in January that he saw a 50% chance of a U.S. recession by the end of 2020. Now, however, he said he thinks the risk “feels less than that today.”
“I think the U.S. economy is growing at trend at the moment. I do think, as we came into the end of the year, there was some fear that we really were in a place where economic growth was really pivoting into very, very significant slowdown. I do think growth slowed around the world and I do think the growth trajectory slowed in the US as we finished 2018 and it’s pretty clear to me that while the first quarter was sluggish, the second quarter was chugging along pretty well and certainly we’re at trend,” Solomon added.
China's economy still faces downward pressure, while policy steps to support the economy are starting to bear fruit, statistics bureau said.
Mao Shengyong, spokesman for the bureau, made the comments after official data showed China's economy grew at a steady 6.4% pace in the first quarter from a year earlier, defying expectations for a slowdown, as industrial output jumped sharply. The bureau also said the retail sales climbed 8.7 percent on year in March - beating expectations for an increase of 8.4% and up from 8.2% in February. Fixed asset investment rose 6.3% on year, in line with expectations and up from 6.1% in the previous month.
There are favourable factors for supporting industrial output growth and it is expected to maintain a steady pace, Mao said.
