Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Stocks are trading slightly lower early Thursday. Support by gains in overseas markets and an encouraging outlook from Cisco Systems Inc. are being outweighed by a sluggish retail report.

The market's gains, however, were muted by sluggish July sales reports from retailers, as worries about job losses kept consumers from spending freely. Expectations had been low though, so the dips in sales didn't come as much of a surprise to the market.

In Europe, stocks rebounded after two days of losses after European central banks left their benchmark interest rates at low levels. The Bank of England also announced plans to expand its asset purchase program.

Meanwhile, Cisco Systems offered some fairly upbeat news, despite reporting a 46 percent drop in profit in its latest quarter late Wednesday. The technology giant, which narrowly beat expectations, said the quarter may have been the bottom of the recession-related downturn, noting positive trends in orders for its products.

The Labor Department is expected to announce before the market opens that the number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits fell slightly last week, after rising more than expected in the previous week.

In the past two days, stocks have stalled from their big surge in July as investors become more cautious ahead of the government's crucial July employment report on Friday. The market soared higher last month on signs of improvement in industries such as housing and manufacturing, but investors are worried that rising unemployment and still-sagging consumer spending could seriously dampen the economy's recovery.

At the same time, analysts say some pause in buying is warranted after such a huge advance; The Dow Jones industrial average is up 13.9 percent in just 18 days.

In early trade, the Dow Jones industrial average is down 27 at 9,254. Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 4 points at 998, while Nasdaq is down 10 points at 1983.
