NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- An early U.S. stock rally was halted in its
tracks Friday morning amid continued nervousness over corporate
earnings and developments in Washington.

But the technology sector held up relatively well, managing modest gains
after Gateway 2000 released a glistening profits report. Elsewhere,
gold-mining issues shined amid nervousness regarding the festering
scandal involving President Bill Clinton.

At 11:15 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 57.79
points, 0.8 percent, to 7674.32.

"We had a good day cooking and a rumor circulated very quickly about a
potential resignation by Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin," said Scott
Bleier, chief investment strategist at Prime Charter Ltd. "The political
situation continues to be a potential tinderbox over the very near term.

"The Street thinks that Secretary Rubin will take Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan's place when he eventually resigns," Bleier
continued. "Rubin has inspired tremendous confidence from the financial
community. If he resigned, it would add a very high level of uncertainty
with regard to financial leadership."

The Treasury Department subsequently denied the rumor of Treasury
Secretary Rubin's resignation.
