Stocks dip as China forces banks to raise reserves

Stocks retreat a day after a big rally as China raises bank reserve requirements

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks dipped Friday after China moved to curb inflation after days of speculation.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 35 points in morning trading. With no major economic reports due out in the U.S. Friday, investors were again focusing on overseas news.

The Chinese government told banks they must hold more reserves. The move is aimed at cutting down on lending to avoid speculative bubbles and curb inflation. Inflation in China shot up to a more than two-year high last month.

There is also growing expectation China will raise key interest rates soon as part of the inflation fight.

Raising bank reserve requirements and hiking interest rates, though, could also slow China's robust economy. Expansion in China has been vital to global growth and corporate profits because of sluggish recoveries elsewhere around the world, particularly in the U.S. and parts of Europe.
