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

After initial sharp drops late last week, global markets are stabilizing following an announcement that Dubai World, the main investment arm of the Persian Gulf city-state, asked to defer payments on $60 billion in debt for six months.

There was worry that a debt default could touch off a new round of credit market worries, which plagued stocks last year as Lehman Brothers collapsed and banks stopped lending to each other.

However, it appears there is limited exposure to the debt in the U.S., which has eased some concerns. The United Arab Emirates, where Dubai is located, also said Sunday it will make extra funding available to all banks in the country, including foreign banks with local offices.

Analysts say European banks have more exposure than their U.S. counterparts. Asian stocks rallied sharply on Monday, while European markets were lower. Dubai's market, which was opened Monday for the first time since the debt deferment announcement, fell nearly 6 percent.

Some encouraging signs from U.S. consumers helped to offset concerns about fallout from the Dubai debt crisis. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all U.S. economic activity, so a robust holiday shopping season would put investors at ease that the economy is recovering.

Investors have been worried that rising unemployment would make shoppers uncomfortable about spending during the holidays. A key report on the nation's unemployment rate is due out Friday.

Preliminary figures by ShopperTrak, a research firm that tracks more than 50,000 outlets, showed sales rose 0.5 percent on Friday, the kickoff to the holiday shopping season. Online sales jumped 11 percent Thursday and Friday, according to comScore, an Internet research firm.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 25.70, or 0.25 percent, to 10,335.62.
