Stocks finish mixed as dollar gains strength (AP)

By DAVID K. RANDALL, AP Business Writer David K. Randall, Ap Business Writer – Mon?Nov?15, 5:58?pm?ET

NEW YORK – Stocks slumped to a mixed finish Monday as the dollar posted its second day of gains over concerns that Europe is on the edge of another bailout.

Investors believe that Ireland may seek help from its fellow members in the European Union as its economy sputters. The dollar also spiked in May when Europe bailed out Greece. Ireland's finances are under strain after the government bailed out five banks after the country's real estate boom collapsed.

The rising value of the dollar, which hurts U.S. exports, resulted in stocks paring their gains late in the day. Stocks had risen for most of the day following following a spike in corporate dealmaking and news that retail sales in October jumped to the highest level in seven months.

Consumer spending rose 1.2 percent last month thanks to higher demand for automobiles, the Commerce Department reported. The gain was nearly double what analysts were expecting. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 4.3 percent following the announcement.

Treasury prices fell following stronger the economic data and a backlash against the Federal Reserve's recent bond-buying program intended to spur the ecnoomy. The price drop sent interest rates to their highest levels in more than three months. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.

Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest construction machinery maker, said it would buy mining equipment maker Bucyrus International Inc. for $7.6 billion in cash, a 32 percent premium over the company's closing price on Friday. Shares of Caterpillar rose 1 percent.

Data storage company EMC Corp. also announced that it had reached a deal to buy competitor Isilon Systems Inc. for $2.2 billion in cash. It is offering $33.85 per share, a 29 percent premium over its closing price on Friday.

The push for mergers and acquisitions is a good sign for investors, said Uri Landesman, the president of Platinum Partners, a hedge fund in New York City. "It's a statement that companies are moving out from under the bombshells of 2008 and 2009 and that they don't think there will be another disaster," he said.

Corporations are holding records amount of cash on their balance sheets. Using that cash to buy rivals or to expand into new areas could be a sign that companies are less concerned about the possibility that that economy will slide into another recession soon.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 9.39, or 0.1 percent, to close at 11,201.97. It had been up as much as 88 points earlier.

The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 1.46, or 0.1 percent, to 1,197.75, while the technology-focused Nasdaq composite index fell 4.39, or 0.2 percent, to 2,513.82.

Six out of the 10 industry groups within the S&P 500 index fell. Companies in the materials industry fell the most, down 0.9 percent. Financial companies posted the index's largest gains with a 0.4 rise. JP Morgan Chase gained 1.3 percent to become the top stock among the 30 companies that make up the Dow. Walt Disney's 1.3 fall made it the laggard.

In addition to Ireland's debt woes, investors are also worried about international pushback on the Federal Reserve's plan to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds, which U.S. trading partners say will further weaken the dollar.

Yields for Treasury bonds rose for the third straight day, lifting interest rates to their highest level in four months. The 10 year Treasury bond's yield rose to 2.95 percent, the highest since before the Federal Reserve announced that it would spend $600 billion to buy bonds in an attempt to spur the economy.

The Fed's plan came under another round of criticism on Monday after economists, hedge fund investors and historians tied to Republicans called on the Fed to halt its effort. The group believes that the Fed's plan may result in rampant inflation and a weaker dollar.

Gaining and falling shares were even on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.6 billion shares.

Stock index futures dip as dollar rises (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures fell on Monday as a rise in the U.S. dollar weighed on commodity prices and looked set to put pressure on natural resource stocks.

The dollar has traded in a strong inverse relationship to U.S. equities recently. An unwinding of dollar short positions that began after solid U.S. jobs data last Friday gathered pace on Monday, while concerns over euro zone debt hurt the euro. The dollar was up 0.6 percent against a basket of currencies.

Metals prices slipped as the dollar rose, while oil prices fell 0.3 percent toward $86 a barrel, easing back from two-year highs earlier in the session. Gold slipped for the first time in three sessions but remained near record highs.

Alcoa Inc (AA.N), the largest U.S. aluminum producer, fell 1.4 percent to $13.80 in premarket trade, while other metals producers, such as Newmont Mining Corp (NEM.N) and Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc (FCX.N), also edged lower although volume was light.

"The dollar weakness, which has been one of the driving forces in the recent rally, is rebounding, causing a rethink in the dollar trade," said Andre Bakhos, director of market analytics at Lek Securities in New York.

"That coupled with calls by many for profit-taking has caused an early morning retreat."

S&P 500 futures fell 3.6 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 14 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 6 points.

U.S. stocks rose for the fifth straight week last week and have passed levels not seen since before the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, helped by Republican gains in the U.S. midterm elections and on news of more cheap money from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The S&P 500 faces strong resistance at around 1,228, a key retracement of the benchmark's slide from its historic high in 2007 to the 12-year low in March 2009. The S&P closed at 1225.85 on Friday.

AOL Inc (AOL.N) is exploring strategic options, which include a possible tie-up with Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O), and has retained financial advisers to do so, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources. Yahoo's shares rose 1.7 percent to $16.55.

Intel Corp (INTC.O) was up 1.4 percent to $21.54 before the bell after UBS raised the stock's rating to "buy" from "neutral." UBS estimates the global semiconductor industry will see another couple of quarters of inventory adjustments.

Saudi Arabian Airlines ordered 12 Boeing Co 777-300 "Extended Range" planes for $3.3 billion, in addition to eight 787 Dreamliners, Boeing (BA.N) said Sunday. However, Boeing's shares traded down 1.4 percent to $70.30 in premarket trade.

Japan's Nikkei average rose 1.1 percent to a three-month closing high on Monday, adding to gains last week as investors shifted toward global equities on improving prospects for the U.S. economy. European stocks edged lower in early trade, with telecommunications shares such as Vodafone Plc (VOD.L) among the biggest drags.

Mr. Myung-bak, who will chair the meeting of the 20 largest economies of the planet, says the Wall Street Journal even if he thought the US Fed quantitative easing would affect the exchange rate, a "robust U.S. economy" is important for the rest of the world.

To imbalances in current account - a growing problem given the deficits are suckled by the great powers developed, including the United States and United Kingdom - Mr. Geithner said there is now a broad consensus to develop a form any of framework in order to avoid excessive imbalances.

However, he said that detailed limits should not expect the Seoul Summit.

"It is not something that you can easily reduce to a single number" added Mr. Geithner. "It is not desirable, necessary and it is unlikely at this stage.

David Bloom, currency Chief at HSBC, said that the root problem is the lack of underlying demand in the global economy, leaving the Western economies trapped near stall speed."There is no policy levers to gauche.Rencontrez countries to tighten fiscal policy and interest rates are already near zéro.Le last resort is a weaker currency, so everyone is trying to do", he said.

Pious words of the G20 Summit Finance Ministers month last call for the world to pursue commercial advantage by devaluation "refrain" appear to be more honored in the breach.
