Stocks fall after spike in jobless benefits claims

Stocks drop after surprise jump in weekly claims for unemployment benefits

Source Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer Yahoo Finance

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday after first-time claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week.

The high unemployment rate in the U.S. remains one of the biggest worries for investors. The surprise jump in claims last week suggests that employers are still reluctant to create jobs, which could keep a damper on economic growth the coming months.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 31 points in morning trading. Broader indexes also fell.

The Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits jumped to 479,000 last week from a 460,000 a week earlier. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast new claims would fall modestly to 455,000.

The market will get a stronger reading on the jobs market on Friday when the government releases its closely watched monthly tally of payrolls and the unemployment rate. Investors have been getting mixed signals on the economy in recent weeks, and sent stocks higher on Wednesday after payroll company ADP reported that private employers slightly increased hiring last month.

Stocks retreat ahead of holiday weekend

Stocks fall modestly to end volatile month of trading; Dow off 7 percent in May

Stocks fell modestly in early trading Friday as investors put a close on a turbulent month of trading.

The dip in major indexes is a stark contrast to the volatile swings that have been prevalent throughout May. Worries about Europe’s debt problems have driven markets sharply lower in May.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down nearly 7 percent for the month, which would be the biggest May drop since 1962.

A mixed report on personal spending and income tempered any momentum that investors might have tried to carry over from a big surge on Thursday. The Dow climbed nearly 285 points Thursday, which was the index’s second best day of the year.

Stocks are higher as investors’ focus returned to the improving health of the domestic economy

Stocks rose Wednesday as investors’ focus returned to the improving health of the domestic economy.

A new Commerce Department report showed exports jumped in March to their highest levels since 2008. That bodes well for the manufacturing sector, which has shown consistent improvement in recent months.

Investors had turned their attention for more than a week to Greece’s debt crisis, which threatened to affect other weak European countries and fracture the 16-nation currency union that uses the euro.

European markets rose as volatility eased. Stocks rallied sharply around the world Monday after European leaders agreed to a nearly $1 trillion bailout to help contain the debt problems that spooked markets last week.
