ECONOMIC REPORT: Foreign capital flows lower in Dec
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch
Last Update: 9:00 AM ET Feb. 15, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Overseas investors reduced their purchases of bonds and stocks in December, the Treasury Department said Tuesday.
Foreign long-term net capital flows into the United States fell to $61.3 billion in December from a revised $89.3 billion in November. The figure reflects net foreign purchases of U.S. securities minus net U.S. purchases of foreign securities.
Foreigners bought $8.4 billion of Treasury notes and bonds in December, well below the $32.8 billion bought in November, according to the Treasury International Capital data.
Foreign central banks slashed their purchases of Treasury notes and bonds, to $7.0 billion from $21.0 billion in November.
The drop in purchases was spread across countries. Chinese residents bought $193.8 billion, slightly more than the $191.1 billion they bought in November.
Foreigners bought $26.6 billion of agency debt in December - which includes asset-backed securities such as mortgages. This is slightly below the $27.8 billion purchased in November.
In corporate debt, foreigners bought $40.8 billion, up from $25.6 billion in November.
Foreigners bought $7.1 billion in equities, down from $14.5 billion in November.
Foreign capital flows are funding the nation's large current account deficit, which allows Americans to consume more than they produce and invest more than they save.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Factory activity slows in New York
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Feb. 15, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Manufacturing activity in the New York area slowed in February, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said Tuesday.
The bank's Empire State Manufacturing index fell to 19.2 in February from 20.1 in January.
The decline was slightly less than expected.
Economists were forecasting the index to slip to about 18.9 in February.
The new orders index fell to 17.3 in February from 21.0 in the previous month, while shipments rose to 33.3 from 26.2.
Unfilled orders fell sharply to -12.2 from 5.7 in the previous month.
The employment index fell to 8.9 in February from 12.7 in January, while the workweek index fell sharply to 9.3 from 16.7.
The price indicators moderated in February.
The prices paid index inched lower for the second straight month to 48.8 from 50.4 in January. This is the first decline below 50 since Feb. 2004.
The prices received index fell to 13.2 after a steep rise to 27.7 in the previous month.
The Empire State index is of interest to traders primarily because it's seen as an early forecast of the national Institute for Supply management survey due out in two weeks.
ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. retail sales dip on lower auto sales
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Last Update: 9:10 AM ET Feb. 15, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. retail sales dropped 0.3 percent in January as auto sales slowed sharply, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.
Excluding the 3.3 percent drop in auto sales, retail sales increased 0.6 percent.
Economists were looking for a 0.4 percent decline in overall sales and a 0.5 percent gain in sales excluding autos, according to a canvass conducted by MarketWatch.
It was the largest decline in retail sales in five months.
Sales had increased 1.1 percent in December, revised lower from the 1.2 percent originally reported. Sales excluding autos had risen 0.3 percent in December. November's sales were also revised down a tenth of a percentage point.
Sales are up 7.2 percent in the past 12 months, while ex-auto sales are up 7.6 percent. The figures are seasonally adjusted, but not adjusted for price changes.
Retail sales account for about half of consumer spending and one-third of gross domestic product.
Analysts expect retail sales to slow somewhat from the rapid growth seen in the last half of 2004, when consumer spending increased at a 4.8 percent annual rate. Continued job growth and rising incomes should underpin spending, they say.
"Consumer spending is strong," said Steve Stanley, chief economist at RBS Greenwich Capital. "A temporary slowdown in [the first quarter] is fairly likely due to a pullback in auto sales, but we believe that households will continue to spend heartily in 2005."
In a separate report, the International Council of Shopping Centers and UBS said their weekly chain store index rose 0.1 percent last week while the year-over-year increase slowed to 1.7 percent. Customer traffic was stronger than sales, said ICSC economist Mike Niemira.
In a separate report, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said regional manufacturing activity increased at about the same pace in February as January. The Empire State index dipped to 19.2 from 20.1.
In January, retail sales of durable goods were generally poor, while nondurables were healthy. Gasoline and clothing were particularly strong.
Sales at building material, hardware and garden stores dropped 0.3 percent in January after rising 14.1 percent in the past 12 months. Electronics and appliance sales dropped 0.6 percent. Furniture sales fell 0.1 percent.
Auto sales plunged in January to an annual unit rate of 16.2 million from 18.3 million in December, the automakers said. Anecdotal accounts show a pickup in sales in February as some manufacturers restore sales incentives.
Sales at general merchandise stores gained 0.9 percent in January, while clothing store sales rose 1.8 percent. Sales at sporting goods, books and hobby stores gained 0.6 percent.
Gasoline station sales also increased 1.8 percent, the result of higher prices.
Food store sales increased 0.3 percent, health and personal care sales increased 0.6 percent and restaurant sales increased 0.7 percent.
Sales at nonstore retailers such as catalog and online outlets fell 0.2 percent.
