Stock Market Wrap Up


Dow - 8.21    I  Nasdaq - 11.88    I  S&P 500 - 4.82    

Market Wrap
(Briefing):

What was initially shaping up to be a decent and logical rebound given last week's sizable losses resulted in yet another session plagued by subprime concerns.

With the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq plunging 1.8% on average last week, and the bulk of that coming on Friday, it was understandable to see some sort of a bounce. However, a rebound that had the Dow up nearly 129 points midday didn't last long as worries about the impact of subprime mortgages on the rest of the market resurfaced around 2:00 ET and prompted another sell-now-ask-questions later reaction across the board.

Eight of 10 sectors posted losses.

Today's reversal was first seen in Financials (-0.6%), led by a spike lower among Investment Banks (-1.3%) following several headlines pertaining to the near collapse of two Bear Stearns (BSC 138.23 -5.52) hedge funds.

CNBC highlighted the possibility for increased risk due to credit rating downgrades, citing a Citigroup research note that showed Goldman Sachs' (GS 216.68 -5.72) subprime mortgage bonds issued last year are being downgraded at the fastest rate of any issuer.

Adding insult to injury, a Merrill Lynch (MER 83.95 -0.53) analyst said he does not believe Bear Stearns has faced "a situation of this magnitude" in its two decades as a public company and that BSC may have to bail out another fund. BusinessWeek.com also chimed in, noting that SEC has started a preliminary inquiry into Bear Stearns' big restatement of losses at one of its troubled hedge funds.

Bond yields finished near session lows for a second straight session. However, with hedge-fund risk largely being attributed for another flight-to-quality bid in Treasuries, the yield on the 10-year note (+11/32) merely pulling back to 5.08% did little to comfort investors.
