Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The U.S. stocks declined on Friday after two consecutive days of advance as concerns over the growth of the world's largest economy revived after disappointing job data for the month of December. According to a Reuters report, U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose in December, beating the market expectations, but wages unexpectedly fell. All the three major U.S. benchmark indices ended the session in red, with S&P 500 index closing at 2,044.81, down 0.84%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 0.95% lower at 17,737.37, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.68% at 4,704.07. Investors also turned cautious ahead of the Q4 2014 corporate earnings season. Meanwhile, the European shares closed lower on Friday amid uncertainty ahead of the release of the U.S. nonfarm payroll data and after latest data showed that German exports and industrial output declined in November. Asian markets were mostly higher on Friday, tracking two-day rally in the U.S. and European markets.
