The main US stock indices grew moderately on Friday, with the Nasdaq and S & P 500 reaching record highs, helped by higher commodity prices, as well as by the fact that retailers' stocks began to strengthen signs of a strong start to the holiday season.
Certain pressure on the course of trading was provided by preliminary data from Markit Economics, which showed that business activity in the US private sector continued to expand in November, but the growth rate slowed somewhat. Composite index PMI, which estimates the change in activity in the production and services sectors, fell in November to 54.6 points from 55.2 points in October. As a result, the last reading indicated the slowest expansion of private sector activity since July. However, despite the slowdown, the study pointed to a steady, and stronger, increase in new orders in November.
Quotes of WTI crude oil jumped by more than 1.5%, reaching the highest level in more than two years, as the supply of oil to storage facilities continued to decline due to the shutdown of the Keystone pipeline in North America. Meanwhile, the price of Brent crude rose by about 0.5%. Due to the oil spill on November 16, deliveries through the Keystone pipeline, linking Alberta's oil sands with US refineries and normally pumping 590,000 barrels per day to the US refinery, declined, and the reserves in the Cushing's store, Oklahoma, fell.
Most components of the DOW index finished trading in positive territory (21 out of 30). Leader of growth were shares of Visa Inc. (V, + 1.04%). Outsider were shares of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, -0.45%).
All sectors of S & P recorded a rise. The technological sector grew most (+ 0.6%).
At closing:
Dow + 0.14% 23.557.99 +31.81
Nasdaq + 0.32% 6,889.16 +21.80
S & P + 0.21% 2,602.42 +5.34
November data pointed to another solid increase in U.S. private sector output, supported by sustained growth in both manufacturing and services activity. At 54.6, the seasonally adjusted IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index was above the 50.0 no-change threshold, but eased from 55.2 in October. As a result, the latest reading signalled the slowest expansion of private sector output since July.
Despite a softer upturn in business activity, survey respondents indicated a robust and accelerated rise in new order volumes during November. The rate of new business expansion was also comfortably above the average seen in the first half of 2017.
U.S. stock-index futures were higher on Friday, a day after the Thanksgiving holiday, advancing with oil prices and with retail stocks in focus as Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season.

The ifo Business Climate Index rose to a new record high of 117.5 (Around 90% of responses were submitted before the end of the "Jamaica" coalition talks on Sunday.) points in November from 116.8 (Seasonally adjusted.) points in October. This was due to far more optimistic business expectations. Companies' assessments of the current business situation were no longer as positive as last month. The German economy is on track for a boom. The latest figures indicate economic growth of 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter, pointing to growth of 2.3 percent for 2017 as a whole.
Strength in remortgage activity amongst homeowners, alongside stronger first-time buyer numbers, are likely to have been the drivers of mortgage lending in October, as our estimate showed £23.1 billion borrowed, 14 per cent higher than a year ago. Two-thirds of this was carried out by High Street Banks, which translated to £15.3 billion.
At 7.1 per cent, total amount of credit outstanding grew at a slower pace in October compared with the previous month, while the growth in credit card borrowing remains strong, partly driven by the inflation rate. Growth in credit outstanding by High Street Banks was 5.1%, which also represents a slower pace than seen in September.
The latest figures from the High Street Banks suggest that businesses continue to exercise a cautious approach to borrowing with survey indicators showing demand for credit from smaller and medium sized businesses falling in the third quarter.
In September 2017 the seasonally adjusted turnover index decreased by 1.2% compared to the previous month (-1.3% in domestic market and -1.2% in non-domestic market). The percentage change of the average of the last three months compared to the previous three months was +0.8% (+0.4% in domestic market and +1.5% in non-domestic market).
In September 2017 the seasonally adjusted industrial new orders index decreased by 3.9% compared with August 2017 (-5.8% in domestic market and -1.4% in non-domestic market). The percentage change of the average of the last three months compared to the previous three months was +2.4% (+1.7% in domestic market and +3.4% in non-domestic market).
October 2017 monthly values are actual and compared with October 2016:

Flash Japan Manufacturing PMI rises to 53.8 in November (52.8 in October)
Flash Manufacturing Output Index at 54.2, signalling the joint-strongest rate of expansion for 45 months, on a par with March 2014
Rising exports underpin growth in new orders
Commenting on the Japanese Manufacturing PMI survey data, Joe Hayes, Economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the survey, said: "Following the softer Q3 GDP figure last week, November flash PMI data signalled the strongest improvement in the manufacturing sector for 44 months. "New orders increased strongly, underpinned by business from abroad amid recent yen weakness. New export orders expanded at the fastest pace in almost four years. "That said, a cheaper yen and higher material prices have intensified cost pressures, as input price inflation increased to a 35-month high in November.
A broad gauge of European stocks steadied at the end of trade Thursday, after spending the session struggling to find firm direction. But French blue-chip shares climbed after data showed the country led the strengthening in the eurozone economy this month. How key gauges moved: The Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, +0.02% closed up less than 1 point at 387.12 after a topsy-turvy session for European equities. The index had risen as much as 0.2% and lost as much as 0.6% intraday.
U.S. stock futures were struggling to make much headway on Thursday, as traders steered away from making any big trading bets and instead focused on Thanksgiving Day feasting. The global backdrop for equities was mostly weaker, with Chinese stocks dropping sharply and European stocks largely sluggish except for French blue chips.
More new regulations and investors' preference for larger-cap companies whacked Chinese stocks, while activity was muted elsewhere in Asia. Thursday is a holiday in Japan and the U.S. The Shenzhen Composite 399106, -0.49% closed down 2.9% and the startup-heavy ChiNext gauge 399102, -0.27% slid 2.8% as Beijing took steps to halt the proliferation of small online lenders, days after saying it plans to streamline oversight of asset-management products sold by financial institutions.
