Stocks Are Lower Amid Rising Oil and Drop in Financials

Stocks retreated early Monday as financial stocks fell and oil prices rose. But volume is sluggish and equity news is light in the traditionally slow week leading up to the Labor Day weekend. A larger-than-expected rise in existing home sales lent very brief support to the market, though prices remain in a downward trend and the high level of inventories suggest we are not yet seeing a recovery in housing.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 97.05, or 0.85 percent, to 11,531.01. The Dow rose nearly 200 points on Friday as oil tumbled and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said inflation pressures are likely to moderate.

Broader stock indicators also fell. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 9.72, or 0.76 percent, to 1,282.48, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 21.48, or 0.90 percent, to 2,393.23.

Light, sweet crude rose 56 cents to $115.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Bonds jumped Monday as stocks fell. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.79 percent from 3.87 percent late Friday. The dollar rose against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
