16:21 EDTCTRXOn The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower after the Bank of Japan's decision to hold off on any further stimulus measures raised investor concern. The averages recovered much of their early losses in the morning, sitting just below the flat line near noon, but the selling intensified during the second half of the session, with the market trending lower into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., NFIB's small business optimism index rose to 94.4 in May from a prior 92.1 reading. Wholesale inventories rose 0.2% in April, matching expectations, and wholesale trade rose 0.5% from the prior month, versus expectations for a 0.1% slide. The Job Openings & Labor Turnover report for April showed openings fell 3% to a seasonally adjusted 3.75M, while hiring jumped nearly 5% to 4.4M. In Asia, the Bank of Japan refrained from changing its policies following recent volatility in its stock and bond markets. The dollar weakened considerably against the Yen, losing more than 2% to trade near the Y96 level. COMPANY NEWS: Sprint (S) shares jumped 17c, or 2.37%, to $7.35 after Japan's Softbank (SFTBF) increased its offer to acquire the telecom company in the face of a potential rival bid from DISH Network (DISH). MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was Questcor (QCOR), up $5.47, or 14.9%, to $42.18 after the company acquired the right to develop Synacthen from Novartis (NVS). Also higher was Catamaran (CTRX), up $5.33, or 10.95%, to $53.99 after the company struck a ten-year strategic pharmacy benefits agreement with Cigna (CI) and its stock received upgrades from at least three firms. Among noteworthy losers was lululemon (LULU), down $14.43, or 17.54%, to $67.85 after its CEO announced plans to step down and the stock was downgraded at Sterne Agee and UBS. Also lower was GenMark Diagnostics (GNMK) which lost $1.96, or 12.95%, to $13.17, after Natural Molecular Testing launched a cardiac testing panel using technology from GenMark's competitor Luminex (LMNX). INDICES: The Dow was down 116.57, or 0.76%, to 15,122.02; the Nasdaq was down 36.82, or 1.06%, to 3,436.95; and the S&P 500 was down 16.68, or 1.02%, to 1,626.13.
