October 13, 2016: Markets opened lower Thursday following a weaker view on China’s trade balance joined with worries about the Fed and third-quarter earnings leave investors with the jitters. Citi, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan all report quarterly results before the opening bell Friday. The financial sector was down about 1% late in the afternoon and gains in utilities and real estate were not enough to offset that and other sector decliners. WTI crude oil for November delivery settled at $50.44 a barrel, up 0.5% for the day following a sharp increase in inventories. December gold closed up 0.3% on the day to settle at $1,257.60. Equities were headed for a lower close before the bell as the DJIA traded down by 0.20% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.26%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 0.43%.
The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Thursday was Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) which traded down 1.26% at $100.86. The stock’s 52-week range is $75.33 to $107.58. Volume was about equal to the daily average of around 6.3 million shares. The company is looking to sell a gas field in Bangladesh for $2 billion.
