The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.65% fell for a fourth day, by 83 points, or 0.7%, to 12,653. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.81% lost 11 points, or 0.8%, to 1,341.

MarketWatch Mon. 3:51 by
Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Monday lost ground for a third session
after Spanish bond yields rose to levels viewed as unsustainable and
ahead of earnings from Alcoa Inc.The aluminum maker’s quarterly results
mark the unofficial start of reporting for U.S. company earnings. But
the second-quarter earnings season actually started a few weeks ago
when AutoZone Inc. AZO+0.74%
reported. The 25 S&P 500 companies to release results so far
offer a “good proxy for the other 475 companies,” said Nick Raich,
director of research at Key Private Bank in Cleveland. “What we’re
seeing is rates of growth are slowing to about 9%. Those same companies
reported 15% growth last quarter, so that’s a significant slowing of
growth,” he said. Of the 25 companies that have reported second-quarter
results, 72% have lowered third-quarter estimates, compared with 44%
that reduced expectations after reporting first-quarter results, Raich
added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.28% fell 45.79 points, or 0.4%, at 12,726.68, with aviation manufacturer Boeing Co. BA +0.46% ,
among the 13 blue-chip companies rising, up 0.4% after sealing a $7.2
billion deal with aircraft-leasing firm Air Lease Corp. AL -0.36% Alcoa AA +0.40%
reports second-quarter results after the close, with the Dow component
expected to report a drop in earnings with global production exceeding
demand, keeping a lid on metal prices. On Friday, Dow component J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co.JPM+0.18%
reports, with Chief Executive Jamie Dimon offering his best guess as
to how much the bank lost in bad trades. The S&P 500 Index SPX-0.16%
declined 3.28 points, or 0.3%, at 1,351.40, with energy hardest hit
and health care the best performing of its 10 industry groups. Shares of
Visa Inc. V -1.30% and MasterCard Inc.MA -2.35% fell after UBS AG downgraded the payment networks. Amerigroup Corp.AGP+38.00% rallied 38% after WellPoint Inc. WLP+3.41% said it would acquire the managed health-care company for $4.9 billion in cash. Apple Inc. AAPL+1.32%
stock climbed 1% after a Piper Jaffray analyst said the technology
company could sell as many as 6 million iPad tablets in the fourth
quarter. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP-0.19% shed
11.54 points, or 0.4%, at 2,925.81. For every two stocks advancing,
three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 396 million shares
traded as of 3:25 p.m. Eastern time. The price of oil rose as a labor
dispute threatened to stop production in Norway, with crude futures for
August delivery CLQ2+1.48% climbing $1.54 to end at $85.99 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold futures GCQ2+0.56% finished the floor session at $1,589.10 an ounce, up $10.20, or 0.7%.Treasury prices rose, with the yield on the 10-year note 10_YEAR -2.44% used in determining the terms of mortgages and other consumer loans slipping to 1.512%. German
Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande at
50th anniversary of post–World War II reconciliation. At the
White House, President Barack Obama on Monday urged Congress to pass a
one-year extension of Bush-era tax cuts for families earning under
$250,000 a year, while letting tax cuts for upper-income earners lapse.
Speaking at a news conference, Obama said he might feel differently in a
time of budget surpluses, rather than when the nation is grappling
with a large deficit. As Spain’s 10-year debt yield ES:10YR_ESP -0.03%
rose above 7%, European finance ministers met to work out the details
of a rescue map for banks. The 7% level was seen as the point of no
return for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, pushing those nations to
request aid from euro-zone partners and the International Monetary
Fund. While it’s difficult to be overly bullish, it’s equally hard to be
overly bearish “because central bankers are stepping in and doing
everything they can to prop up the global economy and asset prices,”
according to Key Private Bank’s Raich. “Because inflation is easing
they’ll have little choice but to step in with something big to bring
down those soaring bond yields in Spain and Italy. Something has to be
done to bring those borrowing costs down for those rather large
economies,” he said.
