US markets slipped amid mixed economic signals: Wall Street closed mostly lower as a confusing jobs report clouded the Fed outlook, with the S&P 500 and Dow falling, tech lifting the Nasdaq, Tesla hitting a record on driverless news, yields edging down, rate cuts seen as distant, and corporate headlines led by cautious outlooks and major executive and funding moves.
Employment in the US increased by more than expected in the month of November, with non-farm payroll employment climbing by 64,000 jobs after tumbling by 105,000 jobs in October, and the unemployment rate rising to a four-year high of 4.6 percent.
European stocks slid on geopolitics and energy weakness: The Stoxx 600 fell as defence and energy shares dropped and oil prices fell, while financials, luxury stocks, construction and travel outperformed on upbeat earnings and China-demand optimism.
