Afternoon Stock Report - AIG - Stocks Struggle as Alcoa, Pharmas Drag - Sourced WhisperFromWallStreet.com

American International Group, Inc. AIG

Initial jobless claims plunged by 52,000 last week to a much lower-than-expected 565,000. It was the lowest reading since January, and psychologically important because claims have finally dropped below 600,000.

Futures initially spiked on the number but pulled back to where they were before the report as investors dug into the report, learning that the headline number dropped mostly because of fewer-than-expected auto layoffs and continuing claims surged to another record — 6.883 million — tempering enthusiasm for the headline number.

Wholesale inventories shrunk by 0.8 percent in May, better than expected and the 1.3-percent decline in April.
