U.S. Stocks Slip on Discretionary Sector Weakness -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
4 hours ago

1605 ET - U.S. stocks post modest losses with a sharp split in consumer sectors. Consumer discretionary is the weakest S&P 500 sector with shares of auto makers and home builders losing ground. A fire at a New York plant that supplies car companies with aluminum sheet sends Ford shares 6.1% lower. Consumer staples, meanwhile, rise the most, driven by strength in personal care and household products. Gold continues its meteoric rise, topping $4,000 an ounce for the first time, as investors move into safe havens including the dollar and Treasurys during the government shutdown. DJIA falls 91 points, or 0.2%, to 46602, the S&P 500 loses 0.4% to 6714 and the Nasdaq drops 0.7% to 22788. (patrick.sullivan@wsj.com)
