Techs lead late-day advance
Averages end higher after early decline

By Julie Rannazzisi, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 5:25 PM ET Oct. 19, 2001

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Technology stocks spearheaded a late-day advance Friday, enabling the averages to close out the week on an upswing.

"I like what I see. Coming off three weeks of rallies from the Sept. 21 lows, this week's price action was not bad," said Joe Liro, equity market analyst at Stone & McCarthy Research Associates.

Even more encouraging, Liro continued, is the fact the averages held up in the face of a horrendous earnings period. "I'm impressed."

The broad market saw the heftiest declines in the financial, transportation and gold sectors while oil service, retail, utility, natural gas, biotech and consumer stocks swelled. In the tech sector, storage, chip, hardware and software issues gained decent traction while selling pressure remained in the in the Internet and networking groups. Check market stats and latest sector performance.

In the meantime, a handful of U.S. special forces were reportedly operating in southern Afghanistan, marking the start of the ground phase in the military campaign against terrorist targets. Anthrax cases spread, meanwhile, with a New York Post employee the latest to contract the cutaneous form of the bacteria. See full story.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU: news, chart, profile) gained 40.89 points, or 0.4 percent, to 9,204.11. Topping the list of gainers were shares of Coca-Cola, Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Walt Disney, Walt-Mart and United Technologies. Dripping in red ink were shares of American Express, McDonald's, Merck, General Motors, Caterpillar and Citigroup.

"There's an underlying resiliency to the market. We got a bit of a pause this week [but saw] but no real follow through to Wednesday's selling. The lack of a real pullback is very important: it's telling us that we may have a low in place [and that] people appear willing to buy at higher levels," said John Hughes, technical analyst at Shields & Co.

"Over the long term, we still have a lot of work to do. The [market's improved tone] doesn't mean we'll see tremendous upside from here, but we'll have plenty of opportunities. And you have to start somewhere," he concluded.

The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ: news, chart, profile) climbed 18.59 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,671.31 after declining as much as 24 points at its intraday nadir. The Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDX: news, chart, profile) rose 17.26 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,347.59.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($SPX: news, chart, profile) edged up 0.5 percent while the Russell 2000 Index ($RUT: news, chart, profile) of small-capitalization stocks rallied 1.1 percent.

Tony Crescenzi of Miller Tabak & Co. said that margin debt fell sharply in September in a further sign of risk aversion. Margin debt totaled $144.7 billion in September, down 10 percent and putting total margin debt at its lowest level since December 1998.

"The drop is an acceleration of a downward trend that began in March 2000, when margin debt peaked at $278.5 billion. The drop in margin debt suggests that very little speculative excesses remain in the stock market and that the bulk of the potential damage from selling related to margin calls has already occurred. With financial leverage now significantly reduced, recent problems in the stock market are now less likely to snowball and are therefore more likely to reflect pessimism on corporate profits rather than an unwinding of financial leverage," Crescenzi concluded.

Separately, volume checked in at 1.27 billion on the NYSE and at 1.60 billion on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Market breadth was positive, with winners outnumbering losers by 17 to 14 on the NYSE and by 20 to 15 on the Nasdaq.

On the fund flow front, Trim Tabs reported that equity funds had inflows of $10.6 billion over the five business days ending Oct. 17 compared with outflows of $3.2 billion during the prior week. And equity funds that invest primarily in U.S. stocks got inflows of $9.0 billion vs. outflows of $1.2 billion the previous week. Finally, bond funds had inflows of $600 million compared with inflows of $1.1 billion during the prior week.

Barrage of data

Investors had plenty of economic reports to chew on.

The September consumer price index rose 0.4 percent vs. the expected 0.3 percent increase and edged up 0.2 percent at the core, in line with expectations. The core figure strips out the largely unpredictable food and energy components. The climb in the overall retail inflation index was the largest since May and was driven primarily by higher energy prices. Check the full story.

"With gasoline prices now plunging, we expect the October CPI to fall 0.3 percent, with the core just up 0.1 percent. In the meantime, Friday's data will make no difference in the FOMC's decision-making: Growth is the focus now, not inflation," opined Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Economist Joel Naroff had a similar stance.

"Before Sept. 11, the markets might have stood up and took notice at the retail price report. But that will not happen now. There is very little reason to worry about inflation rearing its ugly head. The economy is faltering and if firms did not have any pricing power when the economy was strong, they will have even less now," the chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors said.

The August trade figures, meanwhile, revealed that the U.S. trade deficit fell to its lowest level in 19 months at $27.1 billion. Economists polled by CBS.MarketWatch.com had projected a deficit at $28.4 billion. But the slimmer deficit underscored a weak economy and the toll that it took on consumer demand.

The world's leading mobile phone maker (NOK: news, chart, profile) announced a third-quarter profit at the top end of its forecasts and predicted a stronger fourth quarter -- though sales for the just-ended quarter were below its forecasts.

Microsoft gave back earlier losses and rose 2.0 percent. The company (MSFT: news, chart, profile) posted after the close Thursday a fiscal first-quarter profit from operations of 43 cents a share, beating the Thomson Financial/First Call estimate by 4 cents. But Microsoft warned that its December quarter revenue and earnings-per-share could fall short of expectations.

Commenting on Microsoft's results, SG Cowen said the company continues to execute effectively in a tough economic environment. While Cowen said Microsoft should show somewhat faster top-line growth in coming quarters, a drop in margins will keep earnings growing at a modest 8 to 10 percent as the company faces the steady maturation of its core PC business. Cowen sees downside to the low $40s and upside to the low $60s. UBS Warburg said Microsoft is well positioned to outperform in a difficult macro setting and de-couple itself from the underlying PC shipment trend.
