Essential news, alerts, and insights that can make a difference
What’s Happening In The Market Now... The market opened lower at the morning bell following a slate of disappointing retail and corporate news. With retailers reporting November sales today, investors are looking at a dismal consumer climate. Many retailers reported worse-than-expected sales, with notable exceptions from discounters Wal-Mart (WMT) and BJ's Wholesale Club (BJ). In corporate news, AT&T (T) and DuPont (DD) announced significant job cuts, while Merck & Co. (MRK) issued a disappointing 2009 forecast. All these bits of information suggest that the economic slowdown has given no sign of slowing up. Sectors starting the day out strong include homebuilding, internet retail, and specialty stores while oil and gas drilling, aluminum and electronic components are down. Volume leaders include AT&T Inc (T), Wells Fargo and Company (WFC), Apple Inc (AAPL), Adobe Systems (ADBE) and Time Warner (TWX).
