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.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily, Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, & New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Bloomberg) yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,772.47 down 124.2 or 0.96% from Thursday's close of 12,896.67 The Dow was down 0.8% for the week. For the year the Dow is up 4.5%. .Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's up 36 cents or 0.4% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down $2.18 or 2.51%.
Inv. Bus. Daily pB6 "Nasdaq sees distribution but most leaders hold up" by Victor Reklaitis says the main indexes lumped Fri after a weak job report giving up all or nearly all gains for the short trading week. Friday's action was sizable losses in mixed trade. Current outlook is a confirmed uptrend. After the market's close on Mon Alcoa will report its 2Q results, signaling the start of earnings season. Alcoa's EPS is expected to be down 80% to 6 cents with rev falling 11% to $5.83 bil as lower aluminum prices weigh.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,687.62 down 16.41 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,704.03. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor. Now, if you divide the Dow numerator decrease for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in today's Dow. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.57 change in the average.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.25 down 0.55 from Thursday's average closing price of $56.80. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.53 (HD/DD) down $0.60 from Thursday's median closing price of $50.15. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have lost $1,650 ($170,400 - $168,750).
MarketWatch Fri. 4:48 Myra P. Saefong and Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed lower Friday, with the Dow industrials and S&P 500 suffering losses for the week after a report on the U.S. labor market showed tepid, below-forecast growth in payrolls last month.The markets were, “for the most part, prepared for the poor [jobs] number,” said Robert Barone, a portfolio manager and partner at Universal Value Advisors in Reno, Nev.And while there was a reaction to the downside, by the end of the day, the markets were only off by about 1%, he said. “Some volatility — yes. Major damage — no.”The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.96% fell 124.20 points, or 1%, to close at 12,772.47, tallying a 0.8% loss for the week.The S&P 500 Index SPX-0.94% fell 12.90 points, or 0.9%, to 1,354.68, ending 0.6% lower for the week.The two benchmark indexes have now posted declines for two out of the last three weeks.The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP-1.30% lost 38.79 points, or 1.3%, to 2,937.33. It climbed 0.1% on the week to score its fifth-straight weekly gain.“Markets have a lot to digest here,” said Michael Gayed, chief investment strategist at Pension Partners LLC. “We got stimulus from [the Bank of England, People’s Bank of China and European Central Bank] this week, which risk assets would normally see as bullish, but that near-term optimism is being countered by a reminder of the weak jobs market.”The Labor Department reported the U.S. economy created 80,000 jobs in June, less than the 100,000 expected in a MarketWatch survey of economists. Hiring slowed sharply in the second quarter, with job growth averaging 75,000 a month versus 226,000 in the first quarter.“Buying stocks and hiring people are both things you do when you want to take risks,” according to Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds.
Right now, there’s enough uncertainty to keep “investors and employers from wanting to take additional risk,” he said. “That’s reflected both in the employment numbers and in what stocks are doing.”Friday’s selloff was broad. On the Dow, only five of 30 components — including McDonald’s Corp. MCD+0.40% and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT+0.39% — ended higher.
On the Nasdaq, Informatica Corp. INFA-27.62% shares led the decline, losing 28% after the software maker lowered its outlook for the second quarter late Thursday.
