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

Wall Street shook off weak economic readings and placed bets on retailers Thursday after their monthly sales reports weren't as bad as had been expected.

Retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Macy's Inc. turned in better-than-expected sales for January. Wal-Mart's sales beat Wall Street's forecast after the chain drew shoppers focused on necessities like groceries. Macy's, which this week said it would slash 7,000 jobs, on Thursday raised its fourth-quarter and full-year forecasts after reporting its sales.

The reports still showed dismal numbers overall, but investors had grown so fearful about falling sales that the retailers' stocks had been badly beaten down. Their reports helped the market overcome a flurry of unwelcome news.
