Also, Swiss giant UBS(UBS Quote) expects to report a second-quarter loss, albeit narrower than its first-quarter loss, and will raise about 3.8 billion Swiss francs, or roughly $3.49 billion, in a stock sale. Its shares gave up 5.2% to $12.30.
In other headlines, Boeing(BA Quote) was the worst performer on the Dow as Qantas Airways canceled orders for 15 787s, or Dreamliners, and delayed the delivery of 15 additional aircraft due to turbulent market conditions. Qantas said the decision was unrelated to news earlier this week that Boeing had further delayed the aircraft's first flight. Boeing shares fell 1.5% to $41.88. Meanwhile, crude oil futures fell 87 cents to $69.16 after initially rising after militants said they attacked a Royal Dutch Shell(RDS.B Quote) wellhead in Nigeria, raising concerns about supply. The dollar weakened against the pound, euro and yen after China's central bank called again for a "super-sovereign reserve currency," and suggested the International Monetary Fund manage part of members' foreign reserves. Stocks overseas were mixed. In Europe, London's FTSE 100 and the DAX in Frankfurt were losing 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. In Asia, the Nikkei in Japan added 0.8%, and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong closed 1.8% higher. Longer-dated Treasuries were mixed. The 10-year was adding 4/32 to yield 3.53%, while the 30-year fell 1.5/32, yielding 4.34%.- Loading Comments...
