Market Intelligence Center Market Update for Thursday, November 6, 2008...
Essential news, alerts, and insights that can make a difference
What’s Happening In The Market Now... The marker was mixed at the open this morning following a big drop yesterday. The Labor Department reported new claims for unemployment benefits dipped by 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted level of 481,000. But jobless claims above 400,000 are considered recessionary levels, and have run above that figure for 16 weeks. The Labor Department also reported productivity grew at an annual pace of 1.1 percent in the July-to-September quarter, down from a 3.6 percent growth rate in the second quarter. October retail sales figures indicate consumers are pulling back their spending sharply. The dollar traded mixed against most other major currencies, while gold prices turned higher. Sectors starting the day out strong include toys, food retailers, home improvement while renewable energy, coal, heavy construction are down. Volume leaders include Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO), National City Corporation (NCC), American International Group Inc Corp (AIG), Yahoo Inc (YHOO) and Ambac Financial Group (ABK).
