Stocks continue rally after drop in jobless claims

Stocks climb following bigger-than-expected drop in claims for unemployment benefits

Stocks extended their September rally Thursday after more encouraging news on the job market.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 60 points in late morning trading, putting it back into positive territory for the year, after the Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest level in two months.

The report came in much better than analysts had expected and added to other positive signals on the economy, including a pickup on job creation for August reported last week. Treasury prices and the dollar fell as investors stepped up their appetite for risk.

Unemployment claims have still not fallen enough to suggest that widespread hiring is around the corner, but investors have taken solace in recent improvements in employment news that suggest the economy will continue to grow slowly during the rest of the year. Traders concerned about the potential for the economy falling back into recession drove stocks lower through most of August.

“All we need is slightly good news … relative to expectations and at this point expectations are relatively poor,” said Tyler Vernon, principal and portfolio manager at Biltmore Capital Advisors.

Yesterday’s Top Performing Small Cap Stock:

Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. CURX

Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer closing up over 3% on trading volume of 27,900 shares.

Curaxis is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and multiple cancers. Curaxis’ therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism foCHfeedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer’s patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease as well as many cancers.
