Stocks are lower on disappointment over China’s stimulus report and GM news

Stocks resumed their slide Thursday, as China deflated investors' hope that the country will boost spending.

 

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said the government's stimulus plan would help the world's third-largest economy grow by 8 percent this year, but stopped short of promising new stimulus measures.

 

The hope that China would unveil more government spending was a major trigger for the stock market's bounce Wednesday. The rally followed a five-day pummeling that left the market at its lowest levels since 1997.

 

Another piece of gloomy news: General Motors said in its annual report that auditors raised serious doubt about the automaker's ability to continue operating. GM has already received $13.4 billion in federal loans, and is seeking a total of $30 billion from the government. GM fell 25 cents, or 11.4 percent, to $1.95.

 

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 136 points at 6,739. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 15 at 697, and the Nasdaq composite index is down 22 at 1,331.
