Tuesday, January 13, 2009 Uptick Futures Fall After Alcoa Loss; Oil Slips Stock futures pointed toward a fifth-straight negative open on Tuesday, after aluminum mining giant and Dow component Alcoa (AA: 10.06, 0, 0%) reported a loss much bigger than the market expected. Investors will also get a few economic reports before the opening bell, which could move the market heavily. The biggest piece of economic data traders get today will be the government's retail sales report, due out at 8:30 a.m. The numbers are expected to be grim, especially after the individual retailers reported last week weak sales for the holiday season. Even Wal-Mart (WMT: 51.36, 0, 0%), the store everyone had expected to be recession resistant, reported weaker than expected holiday sales. Oil was lower by 95 cents, or 2.5%, to $36.64 a barrel in New York. Gold prices were lower by $5.80 to $815.20 a troy ounce. |
