Wall Street Opens Lower Following a Steep Slide in Asian and European Markets

Stocks in the US are lower following a steep slide in Asia, which carried over to early trading in Europe, as recession fears and worries over corporate profits remain in the spotlight. Earnings continue to pour in, while a number of key economic reports, including the Fed's rate decision on Wednesday, will provide plenty of data for traders to feast upon. In corporate news, Corning, Halliburton, and Sysco topped the Street's profit estimates, Verizon Communications matched, McDonald's said sales slowed in the US, and Black & Decker offered soft guidance. Separately, Alliance Data said its buyout by the Blackstone Group is in danger.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 74.46, or 0.61 percent, to 12,132.71. Broader stock indicators also retreated. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 6.53, or 0.49 percent, to 1,324.08, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 16.39, or 0.70 percent, to 2,309.81.

Treasuries are higher with the 10-yr  bond yielding 3.571% down from 3.584 late Friday.

Oil prices dropped Monday as new declines in stock markets in Asia and Europe prompted traders to sell crude futures contracts amid worries about the potential fallout from a weakening U.S. economy.

Gold bullion opened Monday at a bid price of $916.90 a troy ounce, up from $913.35 late Friday.

Today’s Hot Stocks to Watch:

Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. (AMEX: PZG)  SmallCapVoice.com’s hot stock to watch.

Paramount Gold and Silver Corp announced assay results from its first four drill holes in the San Miguel vein of its San Miguel project, in the Guazapares Mining District, Mexico. Drill holes SM-01 TO SM-04 were drilled 40-50 meters apart and were designed to intercept the previously un-drilled San Miguel structure approximately 70 meters below the surface (see map). The San Miguel structure is exposed for at least 1 kilometer and appears to be open along strike to the northwest.

The area in which these four holes were drilled (see map) was selected because of very good grades in 12 surface channel samples across the vein, which averaged 9 meters at 4.22 g/t Au Eq. This area also has several shallow old mine workings, which had high precious metal grades according to local miners. In addition, geologists quite familiar with the nearby Palmarejo deposit have said that the veins here have an appearance virtually identical to those at Palmarejo. The assay results tabulated below support that suggestion. These results are particularly exciting because the ratio of gold to silver is significantly higher than at other portions of the property.
