Excerpt from StockBottom Rumor has it that the recent report of 2% growth in gross domestic product may be revised downward. Talk about a two-edged sword! While it should help to lock in another interest rate cut next week, investors may be wondering of the economy will ever turn around in earnest. The S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite are all bumping up against resistance levels after recent strength, causing many traders to think about taking profits. Decreasing volume may indicate that those who were in the buying mood may have already bought. Closing ticks for the NYSE (+283) and NASDAQ Stock Market (-19) are basically neutral, not giving us much guidance for the open tomorrow. Dell’s report after the close today shouldn’t hurt, though. Indecisive trading like today could portend a change in market direction. As we move into the slow summer season, trading is lighter and, hence, more volatile. On May 15, the market will likely sell off on the FOMC meeting news, whatever is decided. And, of course, anything could happen between now and then. Stay alert.

Productivity Falls 0.1 Percent in Quarter May 8 8:40am ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The productivity of U.S. workers fell for the first time in six years during the first three months of the year, as unit labor costs grew at the fastest pace in over three years, the government said on Tuesday. The Labor Department said productivity for workers outside the farm sector fell at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the first quarter, well below the 2 percent advance seen during the final three months of last year. Productivity, measuring the amount of goods and services workers produce per hour, is crucial to rising standards of living. It has fallen steadily since hitting a recent peak of a 6.3 percent annual gain during the April to June period of last year. When workers' productivity grows, companies can produce more while holding down costs. Productivity last declined during the first quarter of 1995 when it contracted at an 0.8 percent annual pace. Unit labor costs -- a key gauge of inflation pressures -- soared at a 5.2 percent annual pace, the largest gain since a 5.5 percent advance during the October to December period of 1997. The latest non-farm productivity and labor-costs data stood in sharp contrast to economists' expectations. Wall Street economists polled by Reuters had expected a 4.4 percent annual gain in unit labor costs and a 1.2 percent advance in productivity. The sharp rise in unit labor costs and drop in productivity may weigh heavily on the U.S. Federal Reserve next week when it mulls whether to cut interest rates further to stoke growth in the flagging American economy.
