Bonds steal show from stocks
Stocks opened lower as long term government bond yields jumped after a robust February retail sales report. The Dow fell 6.71 to 3201.92 while the NYSE saw 469 up, 1,015 down, and 581 unchanged. Retail sales rose 1.3 percent in February with January revised higher, boosting Treasury demand and dimming rate-cut expectations. Major names like Gap, WalMart, and JC Penney mixed. American Express and Telefonos de Mexico declined, while Phillip Morris rose. The NYSE composite slipped to 222.96 and the AMEX index to 403.70.
