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

U.S. stocks extended their slide on Thursday after an index of manufacturing activity in the Philadephia region unexpectedly fell in January. The disappointing report offered a fundamental negative catalyst into technical selling.

In addition, the Labor Department said workers filing for unemployment benefits for the first time rose by 36,000 to 482,000 last week. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting a small drop. The four-week average rose for the first time since August.

The report provided a grim reminder that while the economy might have improved modestly, a robust recovery is unlikely until companies start adding jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 10 percent last month.

The disappointing jobs report was offset partly by a batch of strong earnings reports. Xerox, UnitedHealth and Goldman Sachs were among big companies that posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter results.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 131.19 points to 10,471.96. The S&P 500 Index declined 12.26 points to 1,125.78. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 13.46 points to 2,277.79.
