Stock futures drop on renewed European banking concerns 09/07 04:54 AM By Chuck Mikolajczak NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock index futures fell on Tuesday after reports on the European banking system rekindled concerns about the financial health of the region. The Wall Street Journal reported the European bank stress tests to measure the strength of major banks understated some lenders' holdings in potentially risky government debt. Separately, Germany's banking association said the country's 10 biggest banks may need 105 billion euros ($141 billion) in additional capital as it revamps regulations designed to prevent future crises. Barclays Plc (BCS:$20.2800,$0.9700,5.02%) U.S.-traded shares dropped 5.4 pct to $19.18 premarket, and Deutsche Bank AG's (DB:$64.6100,$1.0500,1.65%) ADRs were down 2.7 percent to $62.85 in premarket trading. U.S. banks were lower, with Bank of America Corp (BAC:$13.5000,$0.2200,1.66%) shedding 1.4 percent to $13.31, and JP Morgan Chase & Co losing 1.2 percent to $38.70. "The apparently never-ending European debt crisis is coming back to visit the markets and with it, will bring a bout of doubt," said Andre Bakhos, director of market analytics at Lek Securities in New York. "We were up three solid sessions to start the month of September. We are looking now at a situation that may take some recent enthusiasm away." Wall Street posted its best week in the last two months, bolstered by stronger-than-expected economic data that had reduced fears of a double-dip recession. S&P 500 futures lost 5.5 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures shed 41 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 8 points. Oracle Corp (ORCL:$22.92,00$0.44,001.96%) , the world's third-largest software maker, said Monday it hired Mark Hurd, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ:$40.3400,$0.6600,1.66%) , as president. Hurd resigned in August after a probe into sexual harassment allegations. Oracle (ORCL:$22.92,00$0.44,001.96%) shares climbed 5.6 percent to $24.21 in premarket trade. The U.S. Justice department is looking into Google Inc's (GOOG:$470.30,00$7.12,001.54%) takeover of airline ticketing software firm ITA Software Inc on concerns the deal would exert too much influence on the online travel industry, the Wall Street Journal reported. Air Products and Chemicals Inc (APD:$78.0400,$0.8500,1.10%) raised its bid for Airgas Inc (ARG:$66.6700,$0.5200,0.79%) to $5.5 billion, the latest salvo in a hostile bid for its rival. European shares fell 0.7 percent Tuesday to move below a key index retracement level, with banks lower after a Journal report on European bank stress tests. Asian stocks dropped on caution over the global economy, with the Nikkei average down 0.8 percent. shithead kennyboy: rally ? bounce ? idiot odumba in deep shitpile

US Stock Futures Lower Before Fed's Beige Book By POLYA LESOVA U.S. stock-index futures dropped on Wednesday, pointing to a second session of losses for Wall Street, as investors awaited a report from the Federal Reserve for more evidence on the health of the American economy. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 25 points to 10313 and S&P 500 futures declined 2.9 points to 1088.30. Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 2 points to 1855.50. The blue-chip Dow index dropped 1% on Tuesday, snapping a four-session winning streak. "Most eyes will be on [the] publication of the Fed's Beige Book as a measure of the current economic outlook--which some fear will be less than optimistic," said Ben Critchley, London-based sales trader at IG Index, in a note to clients. The Federal Reserve will release its Beige Book at 2 p.m., EDT. Consumer credit for July and a speech by Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, are also on the calendar. The Bank of Canada is expected to announce its decision on interest rates. In the energy sector, BP PLC (BP) is scheduled to release its internal investigation report on the causes of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Investors will be waiting to see where BP lays the blame for the disastrous spill. Smithfield Foods Inc. (SFD) and Talbots Inc. (TLB) are among the companies scheduled to report quarterly results. Most Asian stock markets ended lower on Wednesday, with Japan's Nikkei Stock Average index dropping 2.2%. U.K. mobile telecoms giant Vodafone Group PLC (VOD, VOD.LN) said it's selling its entire 3.2% stake in China Mobile Ltd. (CHL) in a deal that will generate 4.3 billion pounds ($6.6 billion) before taxes and costs. European stocks fell in intraday trading, once again pressured by worries over the health of the continent's banks. Also souring sentiment were data showing that Germany's exports dropped in July from the previous month. The U.K. FTSE 100 index fell 0.7% in intraday trading, as shares of banking group Barclays PLC (BCS) slipped 3.4%. The British pound gained 0.7% to $1.5446, buoyed by a report showing U.K. housing prices unexpectedly rose in August. shithead kennyboy:idiot odumba sinking ?
