The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had declined in October, increased significantly in November. The Index now stands at 107.1 (1985=100), up from 100.8 in October. The Present Situation Index increased from 123.1 to 130.3, while the Expectations Index improved from 86.0 last month to 91.7.

"Consumer confidence improved in November after a moderate decline in October, and is once again at pre-recession levels," said Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board. (The Index stood at 111.9 in July 2007.) "A more favorable assessment of current conditions coupled with a more optimistic short-term outlook helped boost confidence. And while the majority of consumers were surveyed before the presidential election, it appears from the small sample of post-election responses that consumers' optimism was not impacted by the outcome. With the holiday season upon us, a more confident consumer should be welcome news for retailers."

The beginning of the session on Wall Street was stronger than indicated by quotations of futures contracts. This higher opening did not impress the Warsaw market, which in the last hour of today's trading comes at the level of 1,935 points (+ 0.09%) in the case of the WIG20 index.

In the markets today it happens virtually nothing of interest. Trading everywhere is very sluggish and the situation does not improve the forenoon phase of trade.

Practically from the beginning of the trading market signaled that activity will be miserable today. Together with lack of activity goes a volatility. Formally, in the Warsaw market trading takes place, and practically takes only waiting for the final fixing.

At the halfway point of today's session the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,935 points (+0,07%).

WIG20 index opened at 1933.10 points (-0.03%)*

The opening of the cash market in Warsaw was very peaceful. In the first minutes everything seems clear. On the market we do not see any compelling attention activity, which so far is part of the baseline scenario in terms of the attractiveness of trading this week. Low volume limited technical reliability of the signals sent by the graph and morning and does not bring new events.

After fifteen minutes of trading the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,936 points (+0,15%).

The unemployment rate published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Bureau of Statistics of Japan, was 3.1% in November which is higher than the previous value of 3.0%. Was expected that the index to remain at 3.0%.

Household spending dropped significantly in November compared with the previous month. As reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, spending was down 1.5% year on year, after declining by 0.4% in October. The level of expenditure can be used as an indicator of consumer optimism. The indicator is also a barometer of economic growth. As can be seen from the data, consumer spending declined, which is negative for the Japanese economy and Japanese currency.

The National Consumer Price Index (CPI), published by the Bureau of Statistics of Japan increased by 0.5% after rising 0.1% in October. This indicator reflects the assessment of price movements obtained by comparison of the retail prices of the relevant basket of goods and services. CPI - the most important barometer of changes in purchasing trends.

The base consumer price index in Tokyo for the last month decreased contrary to expectations. According to the report, seasonally adjusted inflation was down 0.6% compared with -0.4% in the previous month. Economists expect that the index will remain unchanged at -0.4%

National consumer price index excluding fresh food, remained unchanged at -0.4%, but was lower than the forecast of -0.3%. The national consumer price index excluding food and energy, prices rose 0.1%, after declining by -0.4% previously.

Main markets are returning today to the game after the Christmas break, it does not apply to the market in London, which is closed today.

During the Friday session on Wall Street indexes moved around levels of Thursday's close and ended the day with light increases. The Dow Jones Industrial rose at the close of 0.07 percent, S&P 500 was firmer by 0.13 percent, while the Nasdaq Comp. went up by 0.28 percent.

In the macro calendar today there is no data that can revive the trade. There will come data from the US (indices: S&P / Case-Shiller Composite, the Conference Board, Richmond Fed), but the US markets are focused now on a good end of the year and meeting of indices with round-psychological levels.

On the Warsaw market the WIG20 index ended the previous week hesitantly in the region of 1,950 pts., but it seems that investors have an appetite for a confrontation of 2000 points and to end the year with the stroke of consolidation between 2,000 and 1,650 points. Therefore, the last four days of the year will be a game for as high as possible close end start of the new year with optimism.
