Syria Weighs on U.S. Stocks Debt-Ceiling Worries Also Rattle Markets
By TOMI KILGORE CONNECT
Stocks dropped, with blue chips falling to two-month lows, as fears of
military intervention in Syria and concerns over the U.S. debt ceiling gave
investors a reason to shy away from risk.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 105 points, or 0.7%, to 14841 in
midday trade. The Dow was down as much as 122 points at its intraday low of
14824.47, which was the lowest level since June 26.
The S&P 500-stock index fell 17 points, or 1%, to 1640, and the Nasdaq
Composite Index gave up 49 points, or 1.3%, to 3608.
Financials and industrials were the weakest sectors while utilities edged
higher. Within the Dow, Bank of America BAC -1.76% and Microsoft MSFT -1.80%
fell to pace declines in 24 of 30 components.
Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at brokerage firm Themis Trading,
said while Syria is making the headlines today, he believes the declines are
just a "carryover" of the recent weakness, fueled by uncertainty over when
the Federal Reserve will start pulling back on stimulus measures.
"Syria is the headline today," Mr. Saluzzi said. "If you have a market that
could go either way, a headline like that could cause the market to get
skittish."
He said light volumes, which have been the norm over the last month, may be
exaggerating the reaction to the Syria and debt ceiling news. "If you want
to sell on a day like today, it's harder, because the buyers aren't there,"
Mr. Saluzzi said. "It's nothing new here. The trend has been the same the
last couple weeks."
Late Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said the Syrian government's use
of chemical weapons is a "moral obscenity" and that the Obama administration
has developed conclusive evidence that chemical weapons were used last week
. It was the clearest signal yet that the U.S. is considering an attack
against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The escalating tensions over Syria also pushed up oil prices and other
assets seen as havens during times of crisis, such as U.S. Treasurys and
gold.
Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Investments, said Syria and debt
-ceiling concerns are hitting at a time when "the market is tired and
fatigued."
"We're in a little funk," Mr. Doll said. "The absence of good news and the
increase of uncertainty is never a good thing. [The market] could be sloppy
for a while."
Crude-oil futures climbed to six-month highs, with the October contract
surging 3% to $109.06 a barrel. August gold futures gained 1.9% to a three-
month high of $1,419.70 an ounce. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.756% from 2.805% late Monday, as Treasury prices rose.
The dollar slipped against the euro and the yen.
The Treasury Department also said late Monday that it would hit its
borrowing limit in mid-October, which is sooner than many expected.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City home price index for June rose 12.1% over the
same period a year ago, compared with expectations of a 12.2% increase.
The Conference Board's consumer confidence index in August rose to 81.5 in
August from 80.1 in July, compared with expectations of a slight decline to
79.1.
Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer at First American Trust, said while
the immediate reaction to military action in Syria is likely to be negative
for stocks, the effect is likely to be short lived.
That said, he believes the market will trade sideways over the short term,
with a little more risk to the downside, as the economy adjusts to the
recent rise in Treasury yields. The 10-year yield reached a two-year high
last week.
"In the near term, there aren't a whole lot of catalysts to move the market
significantly higher," Mr. Braakman said.
European markets slumped, with the Stoxx Europe 600 down 1.8%, as worries
about Syria and the U.S. debt ceiling overshadowed upbeat data out of
Germany. The Ifo institute's business confidence index for Germany rose more
than expected to 107.5 in August from 106.2 in July.
Asian markets ended mostly lower. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shed 0.7% as
a result of concerns over Syria. China's Shanghai Composite bucked the
regional trend, rising 0.3% after data showed total profits among industrial
firms in July grew 12% from June, accelerating from a 6.3% increase the
previous month.
J.C. Penney JCP +3.07% rallied, erasing early losses. The stock initially
dropped after Pershing Square Capital Management, run by Bill Ackman,
disclosed late Monday that it had unloaded its entire 39 million share-stake
in the retailer. Mr. Ackman had resigned from the company's board earlier
this month after he failed to push through a change in the company's
management.
Meanwhile, Tiffany TIF -1.27% retreated from early gains. The high-end
jeweler reported fiscal second-quarter earnings that topped expectations and
raised its full-year outlook, but revenue fell short of forecasts. | d****7
