Stocks turned mixed Monday after marking their fifth week of losses Friday on the heels of a disappointing jobs report.
The
Dow Jones Industrial Average was down a couple points, led by
JPMorgan [JPM Loading... ()
] ,
Bank of America [BAC Loading... ()
]
and
AmEx [AXP Loading... ()
] , after
tumbling almost 100 points on Friday to finish lower for the fifth-consecutive week following a disappointing government jobs report. The
S&P 500 slipped near the bottom of some analysts' support level around 1,295, while the tech-heavy
Nasdaq was slightly higher.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, gained slightly to trade above 18. Both the Dow and S&P are down almost 3 percent in June. And if stocks close lower again this week, it will be the longest losing-streak in nine years. Most key S&P sectors slipped, led by
energy and
financials, while
techs gained.
“There’s still a significant fallout from Friday’s lack of jobs creation, which has raised questions around government spending in jobs creation programs,” said Tim Speiss, Chairman of the Personal Wealth Advisors for EisnerAmper. Speiss said markets will continue to trade sideways until September when he expects the economy to start seeing a turnaround. Without any key economic data today, people are focusing on the Fed Beige book on Wednesday and the weekly jobless claims data on Thursday, said Doreen Mogavero, president and CEO of Mogavero Lee & company. “The Fed has really done about all that it can do that we know of,” Mogavero said. “Sentiment has turned and that’s dangerous.” Goldman Sachs dissected the reason behind the sluggish growth in a
new report, saying growth will probably rebound in the second half of the year as commodity prices drop back and any Japan-related disruptions unwind. But the disappointing jobs report does not change the outlook for the economy and
chances of a tighter policy in 2011 is "certainly possible" by year-end, said Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, a well-known inflation hawk who has a vote on policy this year. Among banks,
Wells Fargo [WFC Loading... () ] slipped after Rochdale downgraded the financial giant to "sell" from "neutral." This also comes after Moody's downgrade warning last week. The rating agency also cautioned
Citigroup [C Loading... () ] and
Bank of America. (

Goldman Sachs [GS Loading... () ] could release documents to counter a Senate subcommittee report that said the bank misled clients about mortgage-linked securities, according to the Wall Street Journal. The banking giant faces probes by several government authorities into derivatives trades it executed in 2006 and 2007. Investors will focus on
Apple [AAPL Loading... ()
] as CEO Steve Jobs is expected to deliver the keynote speech at the company's developers conference in San Francisco. Jobs will present new versions of the company's Mac and mobile operating systems
as well as introduce the much-anticipated iCloud. (
CNBC.com will be live-blogging the event from 1pm ET.)Also on the tech front,
Sony [SNE Loading... () ] fell after news of a cyber-attack on its European website, extending recent losses made in the wake of earlier hacking incidents that resulted in data breaches. In addition,
Nintendo [NTDOY Loading... ()
] also said it suffered an attack on its network but that the hackers hadn't obtained customer data. Airlines were under pressure after the International Air Transport Association estimated airlines will earn about $4 billion this year, down from $18 billion last year.
Delta Airlines [DAL Loading... () ] ,
AMR [AMR Loading... () ] and
United Continental [UAL Loading... () ] fell more than 2 percent each.
Lowes [LOW Loading... () ] declined after JPMorgan cut its rating on the home-improvement chain to "neutral" from "overweight."
