Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. markets on Wednesday ended mostly higher as a steeper-than-expected drop in the weekly jobless claims kept the investors' mood positive. The number of people who applied for U.S. unemployment-insurance benefits declined by 9,000 to 280,000 in the week ended December 20, 2014, a seven-week low and only modestly above a 14-year low. During the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.03%, S&P 500 declined 0.01%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.17%. The European market ended the session on a mixed note as data of British workers' productivity highlighted a long-awaited improvement in the third quarter of this year, highlighting how Britain has managed to avoid the worst of the economic slump afflicting the euro zone. The Asian markets too ended mixed following a sharp run-up in recent days as strong U.S. data propelled Wall Street stocks to record highs. The investors are also keeping a close watch on the Japanese government's effort to support the still-fragile economic recovery in the near term.
