U.S. markets comeback fizzles

U.S. markets headed lower Tuesday afternoon as a brief early rally faded amidst general economic distress.

Falling 299 points Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average closed the previous session at its lowest point in 12 years.   Pessimism continued to drive stocks to losses in an erratic session as investors struggle with the reality that the US economy is far from recovery.

Federal Reserve Chairman Bernake tells Congress that the recovery depends on the government’s ability to stabilize our financial markets.

By close, the DJIA lost 37.27 points or 0.55 percent to 6,726.02. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 4.49 or 0.71 percent to 696.33 closing below 700 for the first time since late 1996. The Nasdaq 100 composite index dropped 1.84 or 0.14 percent to 1,321.01.  The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 6.79, or 1.9 percent, to 361.01.

Advancers were outweighed by decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, 1,003 stocks advanced and 2,109 declined on a volume of 7.2 billion shares traded.

The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bond fell 8/32 to yield 2.894 percent.

The euro fell to $1.2562, compared to Monday’s $1.2576. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar rose to 98.24 yen, compared to Monday’s 97.43 yen.

In Tokyo, the Nikkei average lost 50.43 points to 7,229.72, down 0.69 percent.

In London, the FTSE 100 index dropped 3.14 percent, 113.74 points, to 3,512.09.
