FTAdvisors' Brian Wesbury -"the slowdown resembles the period of sluggish growth we experienced in early 2003, not a full blown recession. In the months ahead, we expect improving comparisons to a year ago. In our view, today's report gives the Federal Reserve more room to address inflation by starting to raise short term interest rates."

The major indices are now making a gradual descent. Still, each is off its worst level of the session when the Dow was down 0.1%, the Nasdaq was down 0.3%, and the S&P 500 was down 0.2%.

The dollar headed for a fifth weekly gain against the euro, its longest-winning streak in more than two years, on speculation U.S. consumer spending will keep the world's biggest economy out of recession.
The greenback rose to the strongest level in more than 5 1/2 months against the euro and a seven-month high versus the yen after data this week showed the European and Japanese economies shrank in the second quarter.

``The dollar is likely to grind higher against the euro from here,'' said Daragh Maher, deputy head of global currency strategy in London at Calyon, the investment-banking arm of France's Credit Agricole SA. ``Oil prices are falling and that's supportive for the dollar. Risks of downside surprises are perhaps greater in Europe.''
Europe's economy contracted for the first time since the 15-nation common currency was introduced in 1999, a government report showed yesterday. UBS AG said today it no longer expects the European Central Bank to raise interest rates in September as economic growth slows ``more rapidly than initially expected.'' The central bank will start cutting borrowing costs from the first quarter of next year, UBS predicted.
``The reason the dollar is firmer is primarily because oil is down,'' Ray Attrill, global research director in Sydney at 4cast Ltd., a research group that counts central banks among its subscribers, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. ``Oil is down because Europe is in virtual recession and Japan is in recession, so the global demand backdrop for oil is much weaker. That is what's linking the euro and dollar together.''
Gains in the dollar may be limited by speculation a slowing housing market will discourage the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates to slow inflation at a 17-year high.

Separate figures showed inflation held at 4 percent in July, less than initially estimated.
BHP Billiton climbed 4.6%. Rio Tinto Group added 3.1%.
L'Oreal SA dropped 4.6%. The world's biggest cosmetics maker was downgraded to ``underweight'' from ``equal-weight'' by Morgan Stanley analysts, who said the stock price is ``unjustified'' because of the ``downside risk'' to earnings estimates.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG slipped 1.2%. The world's largest maker of luxury cars was lowered to ``sell'' from ``hold'' at Citigroup Inc., which said slower sales and rising raw-materials costs may reduce profits.
