Wall Street rally fades

AFP, New York
An opening rally on Wall Street lost steam Friday as investors digested a 13.4 billion dollar US government rescue of General Motors and Chrysler to avert a collapse of the auto industry.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded up 8.92 points (0.10 percent) to. 8,613.11 around 1659 GMT and the techrich Nasdaq rose 16.76 points (1.08 percent) to 1,575.11.
The Standard & Poor's 500 broad-market index advanced 5.04 points (0.57 percent) to 890.32.
In an announcement before the market open, the White House said it had agreed to an emergency loan of 13.4 billion dollars to GM and Chrysler, which had pleaded for a lifeline as they faced imminent collapse.
The rescue announced could include up to four billion dollars more pend-ing congressional approval.
General Motors and privately held Chrysler were expected to draw on the funds immediately to avert bankruptcy, and will be required to implement new belt-tightening moves and demonstrate their long-term viability.
The loans begin to be available on December 29.
GM shares surged 12.36 percent to 4.11 dollars. Ford, which says it does not need an immediate bailout, was trading 4.23 percent higher at 2.96.
"This announcement could lift the market as a big area of economic uncertainty will probably be resolved, at least for a
few months," said Frederic Dickson at DA Davidson & Co.
Dickson said that next week's trading activity would likely thin: the market will be closed next Thursday for the Christmas holiday and Wall Street typically empties for extended year-end vacations.
Among stocks in focus, oil majors, battered Thursday by plunging crude oil prices, held steady. Exxon Mobil, the blue-chip Dow’s largest component, was up 0.06 percent at 77.05.
Financials resisted Standard & Poor's credit downgrades on 11 international banks.
Among the banks affected were Bank of America, up 0.29 percent at 14.00 dollars; JPMorgan Chase, up 1.29 percent at 30.60; Morgan Stanley, gaining 0.86 percent at 16.37; and Wells Fargo, rising 0.13 percent at 29.69.
But Citigroup plunged 3.77 percent to 7.15.
Sentiment in the tech sector also improved after business software giant Oracle reported in-line earnings and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion topped profit estimates.
Oracle leapt 7.28 percent to 17.82 and RIM gained 7.78 percent at 41.43.
The bond market broke an extended rally to historic highs, sending yields lower. The 10-year bond was yielding 2.095 percent, up from 2.074 percent late Thursday while that on the 30-year bond climbed to 2.544 percent from 2.546 percent. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.
