Blue Chips Seen Higher; RIM Shares Down
By Michael Flaherty NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. blue chips looked to open higher on Wednesday, building off momentum from Tuesday's rally as oil prices eased ahead of crude inventory data. Shares of Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM.TO: Quote , Profile , Research ) (RIMM.O: Quote , Profile , Research ) fell, a day after the maker of Blackberry wireless devices disappointed investors with its sales forecast, sending shares down $3.54, or 4.1 percent, to $83.50 in pre-market trade on the Inet electronic
brokerage. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote , Profile , Research ) , meanwhile, lost a European Union court appeal against sanctions imposed by EU regulators that would force it to change business practices and sell a stripped-down version of Windows. Microsoft shares dipped 14 cents, or 0.52 percent, to $26.93 on Inet. S&P 500 futures were up 0.4 point, above fair value accounting for dividends, interest rates and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial index futures rose 7 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures edged down 2 points. "Futures are up modestly as GDP came in slightly better than expected. Positive economic numbers are always good. But we are in the last week and a half of the year and we probably won't see much play as trading will be light," said Stephen Carl, principal and head of U.S. Equity Trading at The Williams Capital Group LP. "Besides, we had a big run-up yesterday and we will probably see some profit taking today." The U.S. economy grew at a slightly stronger rate than thought in the third quarter, with gross domestic product expanding at a 4 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. U.S. stock futures showed little reaction to the news. In corporate action, the chief executive and chief financial officer of U.S.
mortgage finance giant Fannie Mae (FNM.N: Quote , Profile , Research ) stepped down late on Tuesday after regulators exposed accounting errors that are expected to force a massive earnings restatement. Oil prices eased on mild U.S. weather as traders waited to see whether the first cold snap of the U.S. winter has eaten into low heating fuel supplies. U.S. light crude (CLc1: Quote , Profile , Research ) futures edged down 14 cents to $45.62 a barrel. U.S. inventory data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) is released at 10:30 a.m., with inventories of distillates expected to fall by 1.0 million barrels, according to a Reuters poll. Boeing Co. (BA.N: Quote , Profile , Research ) could sell up to 50 of its new 7E7 planes to Japan Airlines Corp. (JAL) (9205.T: Quote , Profile , Research ) under a deal announced on Wednesday worth as much as $6 billion at list prices. ConAgra Foods Inc. (CAG.N: Quote , Profile , Research ) said quarterly profit from continuing operations rose, while Barnes Group Inc. (B.N: Quote , Profile , Research ) cut its 2004 profit outlook and announced plans to cut
jobs due to high raw material costs. In active trading on Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average ended up 97.83 points, or 0.92 percent, at 10,759.43, its highest close since June 2001. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 10.78 points, or 0.90 percent, to close back above the 1,200 level at 1,205.43. Last week, the S&P 500 closed above 1,200 for the first time in more than three years. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 23.06 points, or 1.08 percent, to finish at 2,150.91.
