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

Stocks are sharply lower on concerns of weak consumer spending

Stocks are sharply lower and Treasury prices are soaring in early trading Monday as investors around the world fear that consumers are too skittish to help lift the economy into recovery.

 

U.S. stocks are down sharply after overseas markets extended the heavy selling that began Friday. That pullback followed a weaker-than-expected reading on consumer confidence.

 

After sending stocks higher for five months on expectations of an economic recovery, investors are now worried that they have been too optimistic given consumers' continuing reluctance to spend.

 

Dow Jones industrial average is down 136.94, or 1.5 percent, at 9,179.32. Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 15.16, or 1.5 percent, at 988.93, while Nasdaq composite index is down 40.72, or 2.1 percent, at 1,944.80.
