U.S. stocks closed in the negative area on Friday on disappointing data releases from the domestic economy. U.S. retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.4% in March, while experts predicted a 0.1% increase. Moreover, preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index plunged to a nine-month low this month. The S&P 500 Index lost 0.28% to close at 1,588.85. A half of industries included in the index posted gains. The top-performers were defensive sectors, with utilities and telecommunications both rising 0.27%. Among the top-performers was NetApp Inc., surging 5.93%, the biggest increase in S&P. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc extended its gains as the retailer predicted an increase in Q1 sales. Dragging the index lower, basic materials and oil and gas industries tumbled 1.46% and 1.34%. Newmont Mining Corp. dropped 5.90% after Deutsche Bank cut the gold miner's share price target $40 from $47. On the downside was also Harris Corp., sagging 5.37% as the firm said late on Thursday its earnings are likely to miss forecast.
