| 09:10 EDT | | | U.S. equities trimmed pre-open losses
U.S. equities trimmed pre-open losses following the better than expected retail sales print in Apr, though this was relative to very low expectations and the ex-gasoline gain was 0.7%, implying firmer underlying consumer spending that should prove supportive to growth. Stocks had been a tad anxious over more Fed tapering stories, this time on the topic of a Bernanke's potential replacement in Janet Yellen in the WSJ. They had also been disappointed over Chinese data. In Asia, the N-225 rose 1.20% thanks to a dollar probe over Y102 after no G7 complaint, while the Shanghai Comp in China fell 0.22% after missing data targets on output and investment. In Europe, the Euro Stoxx 50 is off 0.35%, with shallow losses across most of the rest of the region, led by -1.3% in Italy. The Dow is 15-points lower, S&P fell 2-points and NASDAQ is 3-points lower, though "fair value" adjustments may push these into the green at the open. In corporate activity, SoftBank reportedly snubbed banks for its upcoming IPO who took part in rival DISH's $25 B bid for Sprint Nextel. Yum Brands reported a 29% dive in China sales due to bird flu. Elan paid $1 B for Theravance royalties from Glaxo. Business inventories are due next. |
