Existing home sales rise in February
February existing home sales rose 6.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.75 million, aided by strong jobs, rising incomes, stock gains, and low inflation. Despite higher mortgage rates, demand remains robust as inventory stays tight at 2.8 months, limiting sales growth.

Microsoft slides as antitrust talks falter on settlement
The Dow fell 86.87 to 11,025.85 while the Nasdaq dropped 4.47 to 4,958.56 and the S&P 500 slipped 3.60 to 1,523.86. Trading was light as government lawyers reportedly found Microsoft's settlement offer inadequate and a verdict from Judge Jackson could come as early as Tuesday. Microsoft led the Dow decline, dropping 75/8 to 104 1/16, contributing almost 40 points to the drop.

OPEC ministers adjourn without agreement in Vienna
OPEC oil ministers ended talks without a consensus on how much crude to add to world supply. Iran opposes a small increase, favoring about 1.2 million barrels per day, a move seen unlikely to curb nine year high prices. Ministers plan to reconvene Tuesday.
