Stocks move slightly higher on jobs report

Stocks tiptoed higher early Thursday as signs of improvement in the labor market overshadowed a rash of ho-hum retail sales.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 25 points, or 0.3%, in the early going. The S&P 500 index rose 4 points, or 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite gained 12 points, or 0.6%.

The Labor Department’s report on jobless claims showed a slight slip to 621,000 in the week ended May 30 from the revised 625,000 in the prior week. The figure was close to the 620,000 projected by a consensus of economists.

Also, continuing claims declined for the first time since January.

A revised reading on productivity showed an increase of 1.6% for the first quarter, compared to an initial reading of a 0.8% rise. This was higher than the revised gain of 1.2% expected by Briefing.com consensus.

Stocks trade in narrow range following mixed economic data

Stocks fluctuated Friday as investors tried to reconcile some mixed economic data.

The group representing Chicago-area purchasing executives reported a much steeper drop in Midwest business activity than analysts predicted. The Dow Jones industrial average, after rising in the first minutes of trading, turned lower.

The data followed the Commerce Department’s report on first-quarter gross domestic product. The GDP’s contraction of 5.7 percent was slightly larger than analyst forecasts, and personal spending was revised lower. But the drop was smaller than the 6.1 percent estimated last month, and the data showed corporate profits rising.

On the last day of trading in May, the Dow is still on track for a third straight monthly gain. The index would have to drop 236 points Friday to finish the month lower.

May, however, has been the shakiest month since the market’s rally began in early March. Investors’ enthusiasm about the economy’s stabilization is turning into skepticism about how strong growth will really be once a bottom is hit.

New worries are weighing on investors: Climbing interest rates, a weaker dollar and rising commodity prices. Crude oil prices recently hit a six-month high above $65 a barrel, while the dollar on Friday sank to multi-month lows against the euro and British pound. Some analysts say these developments are simply the consequence of a recovery in the economy and the financial markets, but others warn these trends could threaten the economy’s health in the long-term.

Another more short-term obstacle for the market is General Motors Corp.’s expected bankruptcy filing on Monday, the automaker’s restructuring deadline. The market has been factoring in the likelihood of a GM bankruptcy for months, but investors still are unsure what the fallout might be for auto suppliers and other companies.
In early trading Friday, the Dow slipped 10.67 points, or 0.1 percent, to 8,393.13. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 0.45, or 0.1 percent, to 906.38. The Nasdaq composite index fell 1.40, or 0.1 percent, to 1,750.39.

Stocks surge as consumer confidence leaps higher

Wall Street’s rally is going back on hold as General Motors took another step toward bankruptcy court.

Stocks mostly slipped Wednesday after a big advance Tuesday. General Motors Corp. said not enough bondholders agreed to swap their debt for company stock.

That means the automaker is almost definitely headed for bankruptcy protection. GM has until Monday to finish restructuring or file for Chapter 11. The announcement dampened the mood of investors who had grown more optimistic about the economy after Tuesday’s positive reading on consumer confidence.

Investors didn’t find relief in a bigger-than-expected increase in home sales because a rise in inventories fanned worries that homes languishing on the market would continue to crimp the economy by hurting consumers and banks that hold mortgages.

The National Association of Realtors said sales of previously occupied homes rose from March to April as buyers hunted for bargains. Sales rose 2.9 percent to an annual rate of 4.68 million last month. But the trade group also said the number of unsold homes on the market at the end of April rose almost 9 percent to nearly 4 million. That’s a 10-month supply at the current sales pace.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 19.43, or 0.2 percent, to 8,454.06. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 0.88, or 0.1 percent, to 909.45, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 7.77, or 0.4 percent, to 1,758.20.

Stocks are posting solid gains after last weeks 5% decline

Investors are again examining the housing market for clues about the economy. The National Association of Home Builders is set to release its index of builders’ confidence for May at 1 p.m. Eastern.

There was some upbeat news on the housing industry before the opening bell. Lowe’s Cos., the nation’s second largest home improvement chain, posted a 22 percent drop in its first-quarter earnings but results topped Wall Street’s forecasts.

Banking company State Street Corp. said it plans to raise funds through stock and debt offerings as part of an effort to repay the $2 billion the government loaned as part of its financial rescue last fall. State Street, which specializes in serving institutional investors and wealthy customers, said it expects to raise $1.45 billion from the stock offer alone. The stock slipped 1 percent in electronic trading.

Analysts say the ability of banks to turn to the market to raise cash is a welcome sign of stability, even if the introduction of added shares makes those already in circulation worth less.

Last week, the Dow slid 3.6 percent, the S&P 500 index lost 5 percent and the Nasdaq fell 3.4 percent as investors worried that the economy’s recovery might be further off than hoped after stocks rallied since hitting 12-year lows more than two months ago.

Beyond the housing sales report, Wall Street will be looking this week to data Tuesday on housing construction and regional manufacturing on Thursday.

Stocks are trending slightly higher as investors await more economic data

Stocks are trending higher in early trading on more signs that the economy’s slide is slowing. The Labor Department said consumer prices in April were flat, as economists predicted. Excluding declining energy and food prices, core consumer prices edged up 0.3 percent, a bit higher than forecast.

New York-area manufacturing activity and industrial production contracted less than economists expected. They also shrank significantly less than they did earlier in the year, fitting a trend seen in most data since early March: that the economy continues to slide, but at a slower pace.

Investors are awaiting a midmorning report from the University of Michigan on consumer sentiment, as well as readings next week on the housing market. After European countries reported on Friday a massive 2.5 percent contraction in the first quarter, investors remain nervous about pushing stocks higher.

Wall Street’s huge spring rally has hit a lull. The government’s stress tests of banks are done, earnings reports are winding down and the first wave of April economic data has been released. Investors are growing concerned that perhaps they got too optimistic when they saw signs of the economy bottoming.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 8.05, or 0.1 percent, to 8,339.37. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 1.45, or 0.2 percent, to 891.62, and the Nasdaq composite index slipped 1.11, or 0.1 percent, to 1,688.10.
