Stocks slip as investors focus on earnings
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Stocks retreated from record highs Wednesday as investors focused on corporate earnings, including a dour outlook from economic bellwether Caterpillar.
The Dow Jones industrial average, the S& P 500 and the Nasdaq all fell modestly.
The S& P 500 hit a new peak Tuesday after a disappointing jobs report for September fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve will delay plans to scale back its massive bond-buying program until 2014.
But the momentum faded Wednesday as investors sifted through a raft of mixed reports from Corporate America.
" Earnings are certainly the focus," said Art Hogan, managing director at Lazard Capital Markets. " On balance, we've had more bad news than good news over the last 24 hours."
Investors were also grappling with " global macro issues," he added. Chinese stocks fell sharply on concerns about rising money market rates and risky bank lending. European markets were under pressure after the European Central Bank said banks would be subjected to more stringent stress tests.
However, Hogan said the retreat was not surprising given the recent rally. Stocks had gained for the past five days in a row.
