07:33 EDTUSB, GS, BAC, WFC, C, MSU.S. stock futures mixed before orders data
U.S. stock futures this morning lost some steam ahead of the durable-goods orders for July, which will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. Meanwhile, new-home sales for July, due at 10 a.m., may show improvements. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect a 4% improvement in orders and a rise in new-home sales to 395,000 from 384.000. Also on the agenda today: The Treasury is selling $39B of five-year notes, and Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart will discuss the economy at 12 p.m. Health-care stocks also will be in the spotlight after the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy, a noted advocate for health reform. Speculation will center on whether Kennedy's death will spur Congress to approve the languishing health initiatives. S&P 500 futures fell 2.70 to 1,023.40 while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 1.8 points to 1,638.20. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 18 points to 9,504.

16:39 EDTBACOn The Fly: Closing Wrap
The Wall Street averages were mixed as a light news flow and light volume did little to catalyze a further advance. Still, with its positive close, the S&P 500 managed to set a new all-time closing high. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., no major economic data was reported. COMPANY NEWS: Bank of America (BAC) and MBIA (MBI) announced a comprehensive settlement to resolve all claims between the two companies. As part of the settlement, Bank of America will pay MBIA $1.6B in cash, receive warrants to purchase a 4.9% equity stake in MBIA and provide a $500M credit facility to the bond insurer. Bank of America also said it would take $1.3B in Q1 charges related to the settlement and that its first quarter earnings would be negatively impacted by 10c per share. Shares of MBIA, which spiked higher near noon after Dow Jones first reported the settlement, closed up $4.46, or 45.37%, to $14.29. Bank of America shares added 64c, or 5.23%, to $12.88... A team of private-equity firms led by Bain Capital and Golden Gate Capital agreed to buy BMC Software (BMC) for $46.25 per share in cash, or $6.9B. BMC shares, which have added more than 14% year-to-date amidst reports of negotiations for the deal, closed unchanged at $45.42. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was Arkansas Best (ABFS), up $4.18, or 39.62%, to $14.73 after reaching a tentative labor agreement with the Teamsters union. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), up $4.95, or 9.07%, to an all-time closing high of $59.50 after Barclays raised its price target on shares to $56 from $38 and the company named Aston Martin's lead vehicle engineer as VP of vehicle engineering. Among the noteworthy losers were LINN Energy (LINE), down $1.97, or 5.21%, to $35.75, and its spin-off LinnCo (LNCO), down $2.59, or 6.2%, to $39.24, following a cautious mention in this weekend's Barron's magazine. Also lower were shares of Tyson Foods (TSN), down 83c, or 3.33%, to $24.10 after its earnings report. INDICES: The Dow was down 5.07, or 0.03%, to 14,968.89; the Nasdaq was up 14.34, or 0.42%, to 3,392.97; and the S&P 500 was up 3.08, or 0.19%, to 1,617.50.
