Stocks slip as data raises doubt on Fed rate cuts
Wall Street fell Friday after data showing resilience in the economy dampened hopes for aggressive Fed rate reductions. The Dow dropped 89.13 to 10,821.31, the Nasdaq fell 21.43 to 2,107.43, and the S&P 500 slipped 9.51 to 1,245.67. traders eyed a possible quarter-point cut or none at all amid mixed inflation and retail data. IBM and Nortel led declines while Schering-Plough gained on merger bid chatter. The Nasdaq remained up from a low hit earlier in the year, signaling a cautious market stabilizing view.
