US stock market daily report (September 01, 2010, Wednesday)
Stocks rallied in the first trading session in September, with the Dow being up triple digits. Thanks to a better than expected report on manufacturing, all three major indexes were on the rise. Typically in September, stocks post losses for the month. Investors say that maybe this year's September was in August. Stocks took a big hit in August; all three major indexes reported pretty significant losses. Coming in first was the Nasdaq; the index lost 6.2% in August, the Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 4.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 4.3%. Recently when economic reports are released and they are better than expected stocks rise. Investors are looking for any positive news on the economy. They have feared throughout the summer that the economic recovery is headed towards a stand still. Analysts believe that the market will more than likely continue to fall overall. Despite the weary report from ADP stocks continued to rise. ADP is a payroll processing firm whose report is used as a way to tell what kind of report we will get from the Labor Department in their weekly report on the job market. ADP reported that employers cut 10,000 jobs in August, down from the 37,000 jobs added in July.
US stock market daily report ( August 31, 2010, Tuesday)
It was reported today that the amount of U.S. Banks in trouble is at a high that hasn't been seen since 1993. In a government report, the number of banks that have a possibility of filing doubled since last year. In the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp's quarterly survey, it showed an increase by 53 banks, taking the overall number to 829 banks being watched to fail. Just because the FDIC is watching these banks doesn't necessarily mean the financial institution will fail, it is just struggling. Few banks on the list actually get to that point; only 13% of banks on the list close. Last year the FDIC list reached 416, but in the first quarter of 2010 it rose to 775. In the report, it showed that 118 financial institutions have closed this year, and 45 of them were closed just in the second quarter.
US stock market daily report (August 30, 2010, Monday)
Today's stock market news wasn't the news investors were looking for to continue the rallies of Friday. Investors remained cautious in the first trading day of the week; stocks were headed lower after a positive report on consumer spending. This morning the Commerce Department reported that consumer spending rose 0.4% in July, up from the 0.1% it rose in June. Analysts' were looking for spending to rise by 0.2%, so were pleasantly surprised. Personal incomes rose in July; there was a rise by 0.2%, unchanged from the previous month. Analysts' were expecting to see spending rise by 0.3%. Analysts' say without a steady rise in personal income that the rise in consumer spending will only be temporarily
