The S&P began the session in negative territory, but only moderately lower, after investors received a host of data prior to the open, including reports on jobless claims, consumer prices, and housing starts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 32K to 360K last week, compared to expectations for them to remain relatively stable at 330K. The consumer price index dropped a larger than forecast 0.4% in April, though the "core" CPI rate rose 0.1%, as expected.

The Philadelphia Fed General Business Conditions Index for May came in at -5.2, versus expectations for a +2.2 reading. COMPANY NEWS: Earnings reports from two Dow members, Wal-Mart (WMT) and Cisco (CSCO), sent their shares in opposite directions.

Wal-Mart, in contrast, lagged all Dow names, sliding 2% after its earnings for the just ended quarter and its view of the current quarter missed the consensus forecast... After the closing bell, Tesla Motors (TSLA) said it intends to raise about $830M by offering 2.7M common shares and $450M in convertible senior notes.

Among the noteworthy losers were Oncothyreon (ONTY), which fell 20%, and Biomarin (BMRN), down 5%, after both pharmaceutical companies, among a number of others, published data to be presented at ASCO, an annual meeting of oncologists. Also lower was AMD (AMD), which declined 14% following a downgrade to Sell at Goldman Sachs. INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was up 12.47, or 0.08%, to 15,288.16; the Nasdaq was up 8.74, or 0.25%, to 3,480.36; and the S&P 500 was nearly flat at 1,658.80.
