Wall Street Opens 1971 With Loss Amid Rally Fades
Wall Street opened in 1971 with a broad decline as the yearend rally faded. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 6.70 to 882.22 at noon, and the AP 60-stock average fell 2.1 to 288.5 amid losses across motors, rubber, utilities, nonferrous metals, chemicals, oils, airlines, tobaccos, and drugs. The Philadelphia center cut its prime rate to 6.4 percent, but follow‑through from banks was uncertain. Losers outnumbered gainers by about 200 issues on the New York Stock Exchange.
