Stocks are lower after a new report showed the economy grew at a slower pace in the third quarter than first anticipated

Investors are entering trading cautiously Tuesday as the updated report from the Commerce Department showed the nation's economy grew at a 2.8 percent rate in the third quarter, down from an initial estimate of 3.5 percent. The report provided fresh evidence that the economic recovery will likely be slow and bumpy.

 

Economists polled by Thomson Reuters predicted the growth rate would be revised to 2.9 percent.

 

Slow consumer spending, weakness in commercial construction and the nation's trade gap all likely contributed to the lower growth expectation.

 

Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all economic activity and a rebound in shopping is considered vital for a strong recovery.

 

A weakening dollar has bolstered commodities and stocks of energy and materials companies, helping drive shares higher in recent weeks. The dollar was mixed Tuesday against other major currencies, while gold prices also rose.

 

Meanwhile, bond prices rose modestly. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.34 percent from 3.36 percent late Monday. The yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, rose to 0.05 percent from 0.03 percent.
