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

Investors dumped stocks and sought safe-haven assets like the dollar and Treasurys following signs that the global economy is still struggling.

Reports in Britain and Germany showed that manufacturing remains weak, while Japan's government approved $81 billion in stimulus measures to keep its economy out of recession. Meanwhile, a leading credit rating agency has cut its ratings on six Dubai state-linked companies due to worries about their growing debts.

A disappointing earnings forecast from Dow Jones industrials component 3M Co. and a weak sales report from McDonald's Corp., another Dow company, also pulled stocks lower.

Investors sent the dollar and Treasury prices higher in response to the day's news. Commodities fell as the dollar rose. A stronger dollar makes commodities more expensive for buyers overseas, and also hurts profits at companies that have large international operations.

After the massive rally in stocks and commodities this year, investors are looking for clues about where the economy is headed and how best to position their portfolios for next year. Investors are uncertain of how long the environment of low interest rates and a weak dollar that helped fuel the market's rally will last.

At the same time, there are still plenty of doubts about the economic recovery to drive cautious investors to pad their portfolios with safe havens. With the Standard & Poor's 500 index up 63.1 percent since early March, many investors are looking to protect their gains.

In midmorning trading, the Dow fell 108.15, or 1 percent, to 10,281.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 10.77, or 1 percent, to 1,092.48, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 20.66, or 0.9 percent, to 2,168.95.
