16:29 EDTCSCOn The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower following some disappointing economic data and a hint from a regional Fed president that the central bank may taper its easing program in the coming months. The averages traded in a narrow range for much of the session before moving lower in the final hour of trading.

The consumer price index dropped a larger than forecast 0.4% in April, though the "core" CPI rate rose 0.1%, as expected. Housing starts were down 16.5% in April from the prior month, versus an expected decrease of 6.4%, though building permits jumped 14.3% from the prior month, beating an expected increase of 3.8%. The Philadelphia Fed General Business Conditions Index for May came in at -5.2, versus expectations for a +2.2 reading.

Cisco shares added $2.66, or 12.54%, to $23.87 to lead the blue chip index after the company's results beat expectations on the top and bottom lines. Wal-Mart fell $1.36, or 1.7%, to $78.50 after its first quarter earnings sand second quarter outlook missed the consensus forecast... Tesla Motors (TSLA) last night announced a stock and debt offering of more than $800M, with CEO Elon Musk announcing his intent to buy $100M of the offering, and shares of the electric car maker added $7.36, or 8.67%, to $92.20. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was Aegerion (AEGR), up $14.73, or 31.37%, to $61.70 after the company said its Juxtapid treatment may have a $1B global market opportunity and at least two analyst firms raised their price targets on its shares. Also higher was Constellation Brands (STZ), up $1.52, or 3.03%, to $51.76 after the stock was upgraded at Stifel and ISI Group.

We believe we will get a benefit in the second quarter as the weather finally begins to get warmer."
