2 YESTERDAY IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS Global Ticker Daily Change US Stocks Edged Higher; Stoxx600 Dropped after US Data U.S. stocks rallied to begin what has historically been the strongest month of the year for global equities, breaking out of a lull that held the Standard & Poor s 500 Index to its narrowest monthly move in six years as investors await December monetary policy decisions. The S&P 500 added 1.1 percent to 2, at 4 p.m. in New York, and closed at its highest level since Nov. 3. The benchmark index added less than 0.1 percent in November as signs of a strengthening economy offset concerns of an imminent interest-rate increase. The gauge is up 2.1 percent this year, headed toward its smallest move in four years. European equities closed lower, dropping from a three-month high, after U.S. factory data raised concern that the world s largest economy may not be strong enough to withstand higher borrowing costs. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index reversed an earlier gain to end the day down 0.3 percent. Manufacturing in the U.S. unexpectedly contracted in November at the fastest pace since the last recession.
