      Stocks Keep Up Rate-Cut Rally

      (Newser) - The stock market kept rising one day after the Fed slashed key interest rates, as speculation that the housing slump might ebb compounded the biggest rally in four years.

      Stocks Dive Before Fed Meeting

      (Newser) - Wall Street bit its collective nails today, with fear mounting that the Fed meeting tomorrow will result in a rate cut of only 25 basis points rather than the 50 traders crave. The Dow fell 39.10 to 13,403.42, the S&P 500 dipped 7.60 to 1,476.65, and underperforming tech hauled the Nasdaq down 20.52 to 2,581.66. More »

      Stocks in Holding Pattern With All Eyes on Fed

      (Newser) - Stocks marked time today, settling into an eerie calm before next week’s nail-biter Fed decision on interest rates. Investors mulled conflicting consumer data: The University of Michigan/Reuters consumer-sentiment survey announced a rise to 83.8, but August retail growth was less than expected. The confusion amounted to modest gains for the Dow, up 0.13%, and miniscule boosts for the Nasdaq and S&P, each up less than 0.3%. More »

      Jitters Drive Most Stocks Downward

      (Newser) - Stocks fell today, with investors shying away from tech after Texas Instruments slashed its sales forecast. NYSE losers outpaced winners 9 to 7, the Dow dropped 16.74 to 13,291.65, the Nasdaq fell 5.40 to 2,592.07, and the S&P held steady. “We had a pretty explosive rally yesterday,” said one strategist, “and the day after we tend to gather our thoughts.” More »

      McDonalds Supersizes Indexes

      (Newser) - It was a Big Mac Attack on Wall Street today, as the fast food giant’s strong August numbers gave investors hope in consumer spending, leading a rally that left all major indexes up over 1%. GM was also a winner, rising 4% on positive labor news. Analysts say investors are looking for “high-quality household-type names” in the volatile market. More »

      After Wild Day, Stocks Stand Still

      (Newser) - Wall Street was volatile today, with the Dow swinging in a 160-point range as investors combed speeches from Federal Reserve members for rate-cut clues. But the index ended up rising only 14.47 points, to 13,127.85, while the S&P and Nasdaq fell 1.85 and 6.59 respectively, indicating overall uncertainty from traders, The Street.com reports. More »

      Stocks Plummet on Jobs Report

      (Newser) - The Dow lost more than 1.5% of its value, or 249.97 points, to close at 13133.38 after a devastating report showed that 4,000 jobs were lost in August, the first increase in unemployment in four years. Wall Street had anticipated job growth, and the numbers prompted concerns that the credit crunch is bleeding into the larger economy. More »

      Stocks Plummet in Worldwide Selloff

      (Newser) - After 3 days of good news, stocks took a plunge today. “There’s a whole litany of negative news,” said one analyst. “Bodies keep washing ashore" from the subprime crisis. The Dow lost 143.39 to close at 13,305.47, with the S&P 500 down 17.13 to 1,472.29 and the Nasdaq falling 24.29 to 2,605.95, drops mirrored by European and Asian stocks. More »
