| May 9, 2013 | | 16:47 EDT |  | MSFT | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower, breaking the recent streak of the Dow and S&P 500 setting new closing highs. The averages moved higher during the afternoon, as the dollar topped the Y100 level for the first time in three years, though the averages fell again and failed to regain positive territory into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., jobless claims fell 4K from the prior week to 323K, which was below the consensus 335K claim forecast. Wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in March, which matched expectations. In Asia, Chinese consumer prices increased 2.4% in April, which was just above expectations, and producer prices fell 2.6%, which was more than expected. Also, the Bank of Korea unexpectedly cut its interest rate. COMPANY NEWS: Two heavily shorted stocks, Tesla (TSLA) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), surged after reporting quarterly earnings after yesterday's close. Tesla added $13.61, or 24.4%, to $xx 69.40 after its top and bottom line results beat Street estimates and it raised its full-year vehicle delivery outlook to 21,000 from 20,000 vehicles. Green Mountain shares gained $16.56, or 27.84%, to $76.04 after the company's earning came in better than expected and it announced a long-term strategic partnership with Starbucks. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), up $4.31, or 24.25%, to $22.08 after a report saying Microsoft (MSFT) is considering acquiring the digital assets of Nook Media. Also higher was News Corp. (NWSA), up $1.43, or 4.49%, to $33.29 after its third quarter earnings were in-line and its revenues topped consensus estimates. Among the noteworthy losers Rackspace (RAX), down $12.88, or 24.66%, to $39.36 after its second quarter revenue missed Street estimates and its stock received downgrades from at least four analyst firms. Also lower following its quarterly report was Monster Beverage (MNST), which fell $2.96, or 5.2%, to $54.01. INDICES: The Dow was down 22.50, or 0.15%, to 15,082.62; the Nasdaq was down 4.10, or 0.12%, to 3,409.17; and the S&P 500 was down 6.02, or 0.37%, to 1,626.67. | | | 15:25 EDT |  | SNE | Royalty talks for Apple's iRadio hit snag, FT reports
