The Ten Things Everyone Should Know
About Science Part V
You may be able to quote Shakespeare, but what
are you like on Big Bang theory? The Financial
Times gives non-scientifically minded readers a leg
up the tree of knowledge.

Economic Notes: |
|
- Conference Board Consumer
Confidence
- The Conference Board index of consumer
confidence leveled off in December to 88.6 from an
upwardly revised 87.8 in November (previously 87.3).
This increase puts an end to the string of four
consecutive declines in the index, though still remains
at a disturbingly low level. A rebound in expectations
was the catalyst behind this month's improvement,
while sentiment on present conditions deteriorated
once again.
- Durable Goods (Advance)
- New orders for durable goods rose by a much
smaller-than-expected 0.1% in November, following
drops in three consecutive months. Durable goods
shipments remained the same. Core capital goods
orders fell over the month by 0.4%. Inventories and
unfilled orders continued to advance.
- Initial Jobless Claims
- Initial jobless claims remained relatively flat
compared to last week, increasing by only 1,000 to
349,000. Over the last several months though, claims
have shown a distinct upward trend indicating some
deterioration in the labor market.
- S&P/Case-Shiller Monthly Home Price
Indexes
- Both the 10-city and 20-city composite S&P/Case-
Shiller house price indexes declined 1.4% in October
from September. The 10-city composite is down 6.7%
over the past year, the largest year-over-year decline
since the index began in 1988. The 20-city composite
is down 6.1% over the past year. Prices fell in all 20
metro areas in October, and 11 of the 20 metro areas
saw their largest year-ago declines ever. House
prices continue to fall, with no signs of
stabilization.
- MBA Mortgage Applications Survey
- Mortgage demand decreased 7.6% in the week
ending December 21. Purchase applications
decreased 6.6% and refinance applications
decreased 8.5%. Mortgage activity remains weak as
the housing market downturn is still strongly
entrenched and evidence of an end to the correction
remains to be seen.
- Chain Store Sales
- Chain store sales increased 2.8% in the week
ending December 22, double the 1.4% pace set the
prior week. Year-over-year growth increased to 2.8%,
up from the tepid 2.1% the previous week. The ICSC
reported that the fiscal week leading up to Christmas
got a boost from last-minute shopping.
- Oil and Gas Inventories
- Crude oil inventories fell 3.3 million barrels for the
week ending December 21 according to the Energy
Information Administration. The drop was much
steeper than the 1.3 million barrel decline and marked
the sixth consecutive week of falling inventories.
Distillate supplies also fell, losing 2.8 million barrels.
Gasoline inventories rose, gaining 0.7 million barrels
on the week.
