Stocks fall as protests in Egypt intensify
Stocks fall as traders worry about protests in Egypt, despite strong US economic news
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell in early trading Thursday as investor worries about violent protests in Egypt outweighed relatively positive news on retail sales and the economy.
Clashes continued in Egypt between pro- and anti-government demonstrators. Many analysts worried that the political instability could spread to oil-rich countries throughout the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia.
“That's the fear,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners.
The declines came even as the nation's retail chains reported surprisingly strong revenue gains in January. Financial analysts had feared that snowstorms would hurt spending. But Costco Wholesale Corp., Limited Brands and Gap Inc. all beat Wall Street expectations, and their stocks rose by more than 1 percent.
