Transportation shares also weighed on the market, extending recent losses. The Dow Jones transportation average .DJT fell 0.8 percent, putting it just shy of correction territory, almost 10 percent below its 2014 high. Data showed the U.S. economy contracted at a 0.7 percent annual rate in the quarter, a sharp turnaround from the earlier estimate of growth of 0.2 percent. Weak reports on factory activity in the Midwest and consumer sentiment for May suggested that the growth pace was modest early in the second quarter. " We had some weak numbers, but it' s the end of the month for the trading of May, which can sometimes cause a selloff. It' s also Friday and Greece worries are still in the marketplace," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew repeated warnings on Friday not to minimize the global stability risk of Greece sliding out of the euro zone. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 115.44 points, or 0.64 percent, to 18,010.68, the S& P 500 .SPX lost 13.4 points, or 0.63 percent, to 2,107.39 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 27.95 points, or 0.55 percent, to 5,070.03. For the month, the Dow was up 1 percent, the S& P 500 was up 1.1 percent and the Nasdaq gained 2.6 percent. For the week, stocks posted losses, however. The Dow was down 1.2 percent, the S& P 500 fell 0.9 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.4 percent. Weighing on the market Friday, shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY.N) tumbled 6.6 percent, its biggest daily drop since 2012, following a company presentation at a cancer meeting. The stock had gained 8.5 percent this month before the presentation. Humana (HUM.N) jumped 20.3 percent to a record high after a source said it is considering selling itself. Intel (INTC.O) was up 1.3 percent to $34.46. People familiar with the matter said it has resumed talks to buy programmable-chip maker Altera Corp (ALTR.O) and is close to a $16 billion deal. Altera rose 4 percent to $48.85. Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,097 to 945, for a 2.22-to-1 ratio on the downside on the Nasdaq, 1,723 issues fell and 1,039 advanced for a 1.66-to-1 ratio favoring decliners. The S& P 500 posted 16 new 52-week highs and 7 new lows the Nasdaq Composite recorded 77 new highs and 36 new lows. About 7 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, above the 6.1 billion daily average for May, according to BATS Global Markets.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Noon Market STI down in thin trade as investors await US GDP data tonight May 29, 2015 : 1:05 PM Singapore shares continued to trade weaker. At 12:16pm (0416 GMT), the Straits Times Index declined 0.60% to 3,397.34. Market breadth was negative, with 199 decliners as compared to 146 gainers. The Straits Times Index came off from its intraday peak of 3,403.66 and low of 3,385.98. Volume amounted to 799.8 million shares worth $963.2 million changing hands. Singtel, UOB, DBS Group Holdings, OCBC, and Keppel Corp were among the most active stocks in the market. On the economic front, US&rsquo s first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) annualised quarter-on-quarter figures are scheduled to be released later tonight. A Bloomberg poll forecasted a decline of 0.9%. China is also slated to release next Monday the data for Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the month of May. The official manufacturing PMI is likely to inch up to 50.2 from 50.1 in April, indicating continued expansion, according to a Bloomberg survey. Meanwhile, Singapore' s total bank loans and advances grew at a slower year-on-year rate of 0.5% to $594.3 billion in April, as compared to a year-on-year growth rate of 2.3% in March. They were also down 1.1 % from $601.1 billion in March. Falcon Energy Group plunged 3.6%. The company, which provides a spectrum of services to the offshore marine as well as oil and gas sectors, posted a 62.7% fall in earnings for the fiscal year ended March to US$22.7 million ($30.6 million) from US$60.8 million a year ago. The weaker performance was underpinned by higher expenses and loss of deemed disposal of previously held interest in associates. Boustead Projects traded flat at 91 cents. The industrial real estate solutions provider secured a $13 million contract to design and build a central baking facility for one of the leading bakery chains in Singapore. IHH Healthcare Bhd traded flat at $2.16. The medical services provider posted a 7.8% increase in net profit to RM171.5 million ($63.6 million) in the first quarter ended Mar 31, 2015, from RM159.1 million in the previous corresponding quarter. Tung Lok Restaurants (2000) surged 8.2%. The company, which operates a chain of restaurants regionally, returned to profitability with earnings of $574,000 in FY2015, compared to a loss of $6.78 million last year. The better performance was due to higher revenue and better containment of operating costs. Stocks that went ex-dividend today included Mencast Holdings.

Seven of the 10 major S& P 500 sectors were lower, with the industrials sector .SPLRCI falling the most, 0.4 percent, a day after the Nasdaq closed at a record high. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said there was still a lot of work to do before Greece and its international lenders could clinch a cash-for-reforms deal. Greece' s government said it aims to reach an agreement with lenders by Sunday. A euro zone official said Greece will not be able to get the money still available under its current bailout plan if it does not agree to the outline of a such a deal by the end of the week. " Everybody is coming out with a different story. I' m looking for an EU-endorsed comment rather than something coming from Greece to be sort of the final arbiter on what the sentiment really is with regard to a resolution," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia, which manages about $67 billion in assets. Shares of Caterpillar (CAT.N) fell 2.2 percent to $86.01 and helped to drag down the S& P 500 and Dow, while shares of transportation companies extended recent losses. The Dow Jones transportation average .DJT was down 0.9 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 36.87 points, or 0.2 percent, to 18,126.12, the S& P 500 .SPX lost 2.69 points, or 0.13 percent, to 2,120.79 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 8.62 points, or 0.17 percent, to 5,097.98. In China, indexes plummeted 6 percent after more brokerages tightened margin trading requirements in a move seen aimed at curbing risks in a red-hot market. Investors also were cautious ahead of Friday' s reading on U.S. gross domestic product. Among gainers, action camera maker GoPro Inc (GPRO.O) rose 6.6 percent to $56.81 after GoPro and Google Inc (GOOGL.O) introduced a virtual reality system using 16 cameras and Google software. Google shares were near flat at $554.18. Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 1,756 to 1,282, for a 1.37-to-1 ratio on the downside on the Nasdaq, 1,468 issues fell and 1,277 advanced for a 1.15-to-1 ratio favoring decliners.
