Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. stock markets on Tuesday closed mostly higher with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closing above 18,000 for the first time, amidst positive data, which showed that economic activity in third quarter expanded at its fastest pace since Q3 2003. The DJIA closed at 18,024.17, up 0.36%, while the S&P 500 closed at record high of 2,082.2, up 0.17%. The NASDAQ, however, ended the day in red, down 0.33% at 4,765.4. The U.S. markets got a boost from the revised Q3 GDP growth data, which showed that the Country's GDP accelerated to an annualized rate of 5.0%, up from 3.9%, predicted earlier. European stocks too rose, buoyed by positive across the Atlantic, even though a fall in Greek stocks kept a lid on gains. The stocks were also helped by positive economic news from Spain and Portugal. The Bank of Spain raised its economic forecast, while Portugal's budget deficit shrank to 4.3% of its GDP in the 12 months to the end of September, from 4.8% a year earlier.
