The Black Friday in the US broke record

Buyers spent a record amount of money in the United States during the so-called Black Friday, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping season.

The Adobe Analytics Economics Research Institute of the Adobe software manufacturer told that the Americans bought a 5.03 billion USD record amount on Friday, which is about 17 percent more than a year before.

Official data on Black Friday’s trade turnover is expected to be released on Monday.

Amazon, the largest online trading company, reported a record number of orders. The company mentioned, for example, that in the first five hours of black Friday orders were received for more than 200,000 games. (MTI)
