    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks fell at the open with another surge in crude oil prices reviving concerns both over consumption and about the Federal Reserve possibly hiking interest rates to curb inflation.
    Crude oil prices were last up $3.17, or 2.4%, at $134.45 a barrel, ahead of weekly supply data at 10.30 a.m. Eastern. See Futures Movers.

    Alcoa said the disruption will likely lower second-quarter earnings by 2 cents to 3 cents a share.
    TCOMP, , ) fell 21.7 points, or 0.9%, to 2,427.
    Energy shares were the only sector on the rise on the S&P 500, while financials and consumer-related stocks led the declines.
    Technology shares were also under pressure after the Semiconductor Industry Association on Wednesday cut its 2008 semiconductor sales growth forecast to 4.3% from 7.7%, citing ongoing pricing pressure in memory chips.
    The dollar fell, especially against the euro, after rising strongly Tuesday after remarks by Fed chief Ben Bernanke, who said the U.S. central bank was focused on holding down inflation expectations. See Currencies.
    A number of Federal Reserve speakers, including Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn, are due to deliver speeches. The Beige Book of economic anecdotes is due out at 2 p.m.

    The earnings docket is on the quiet side, though Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain is due to speak at a Deutsche Bank conference and there will be a Bank of America (BAC:BAC presentation at The Wall Street Journal's deals and dealmakers conference.

    Wall Street faces $10 billion in new writedowns

    More bad news on Wall Street.

    Citi (C), Merrill Lynch (MER) and UBS (UBS) - the three firms that have taken by far the biggest hits on subprime mortgage-related holdings - could face $10 billion in further writedowns tied to last week’s downgrade of bond insurers Ambac (ABK) and MBIA (MBI), the Financial Times reports. The banks have used deals with the bond insurers to hedge against possible defaults on mortgage-related securities, but those deals are worth less with the insurers getting a lower rating. The FT reports that Wall Street executives were surprised by the timing of the decision by Moody’s to put the insurers on review for a possible downgrade, and by S&P’s subsequent move to strip Ambac and MBIA of their triple-A insurer financial strength ratings - even though it has been apparent for the better part of a year that the companies, with their thin capital cushions and hefty guarantee obligations, didn’t deserve top ratings.

    On the plus side, Merrill Lynch has won a summary judgment in a dispute with another bond insurer, Security Capital Assurance’s (SCA) XL Capital Assurance. Merrill had sued the insurer, claiming it improperly attempted to terminate $3 billion worth of credit default swaps without basis. XL said Merrill entered into the deal simply to make its books look better, but the judge threw out XL’s counterclaims, The Wall Street Journal reports. The decision means XL will have to honor the swaps. ”We’re pleased by the judge’s decision in this matter,” Merrill said.

    ``It's hard to make a lot of sectors in the economy work when oil is at $135 a barrel,'' said David Heupel, who helps manage $60 billion at Minneapolis-based Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. ``That's playing a primary role here and raises concern about inflation, the economy and the financial markets.''

    U.S. Stocks Drop on Rate Concern; Washington Mutual, FedEx Fall

    By Eric Martin

    June 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks retreated for a fourth day, led by banks and railroads, on speculation faster inflation may force central banks around the world to raise interest rates.

    Washington Mutual Inc., the largest U.S. savings and loan, and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the fourth-biggest securities firm, pushed financial shares to the steepest drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. led industrial shares lower after UBS AG said the second-largest U.S. railroad may cut its profit forecast. FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. slid after oil surpassed $135 a barrel.

    The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 13.29, or 1 percent, to 1,345.15 as of 12:03 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 137.11, or 1.1 percent, to 12,152.65. The Nasdaq Composite Index decreased 30.03, or 1.2 percent, to 2,418.91.

    ``It's hard to make a lot of sectors in the economy work when oil is at $135 a barrel,'' said David Heupel, who helps manage $60 billion at Minneapolis-based Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. ``That's playing a primary role here and raises concern about inflation, the economy and the financial markets.''

    Bets in futures markets have doubled this week that the Federal Reserve will end its series of rate decreases and lift the target rate for overnight loans this year. In India today, the central bank boosted interest rates for the first time in 15 months.

    Oil, Commodities

    Concern higher rates will slow economic growth dragged down oil companies and raw materials producers yesterday, sending most U.S. stocks to a third straight decline. The S&P 500 has lost 3.6 percent since the Fed noted higher energy and commodity prices in its April 30 statement.

    Financial stocks fell the most among 10 industries in the S&P 500, declining 2.1 percent. Washington Mutual retreated to the lowest in 16 years, losing 59 cents, or 8.8 percent, to $6.09. The stock fell 17 percent on June 9 after UBS analyst Eric Wasserstrom said the Seattle-based lender was underestimating losses on home loans.

    Lehman declined $1.69, or 6.2 percent, to $25.81, bringing its retreat to 24 percent over the last four sessions since reporting a $2.8 billion second-quarter loss.

    Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the biggest U.S. securities firm, fell $3.46, or 2.1 percent, to $163.75. Morgan Stanley, the No. 2 firm, dropped $1.43, or 3.7 percent, to $37.80, while Merrill Lynch & Co. fell $1.55, or 4.1 percent, to $36.40.

    A gauge of transportation stocks fell for a second day, losing 3.3 percent. Burlington, the U.S. railroad whose biggest investor is billionaire Warren Buffett, was rated ``short-term sell'' by UBS analysts who said rising fuel prices may force the company to cut its second-quarter earnings projection. Burlington dropped $6.04, or 5.4 percent, to $105.52.

    Oil Rally

    FedEx lost $2.56, or 2.8 percent, to $87.61 and UPS slid $1.69, or 2.4 percent, to $68.30.

    Oil rose after a U.S. government report showed that inventories fell more than expected, increasing concern stockpiles may be strained during the summer driving season. Crude for July delivery gained 3.6 percent to $135.97 a barrel.

    Microchip Technology Inc., the maker of semiconductors for toasters and garage-door openers, fell $3.08, or 9 percent, to $31.10. The stock was cut to ``neutral'' from ``overweight'' by analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. on a slowdown in demand in China and the stock's ``high valuation.''

    Alcoa Falls

    Alcoa Inc. led the Dow average lower, sliding $2.75, or 6.4 percent, to $39.97. The world's third-largest aluminum producer was downgraded to ``neutral'' from ``overweight'' by JPMorgan analysts. Alcoa will remain a conglomerate and is likely to grow both its upstream and downstream businesses organically and through acquisitions, the analysts wrote in a report.

    Amerigroup Corp. dropped $3.16, or 12 percent, to $24.02. The provider of managed health care for low-income Americans suspended its annual profit forecast and said medical costs in Tennessee have been higher than expected.

    Energy shares climbed 0.1 percent, the only gain among 10 S&P 500 industries. Exxon Mobil Corp. added 22 cents to $88.11 and ConocoPhillips rose 79 cents to $93.66.

    The S&P 500 has dropped 8.6 percent in 2008, the worst start to a year since 2002. Energy and raw-materials producers are the only two industries that have gained.

    Agrium Inc., North America's third-largest fertilizer producer by market value, jumped after boosting its second- quarter profit forecast as global crop prices have created ``unprecedented demand'' for nutrients. Agrium climbed $7.83, or 8.5 percent, to $99.99.

    Staples Inc. added $1.03, or 4.5 percent, to $24.18, the steepest gain in the S&P 500. The company agreed to buy Corporate Express NV for 1.68 billion euros ($2.6 billion) after lifting its offer three times, becoming the world's largest direct distributor of office supplies to companies.

    De beurzen in New York stonden woensdag voor de derde dag op rij lager. Onverwacht sterk gedaalde Amerikaanse olievoorraden zetten de beurzen onder druk.

    De Dow-Jonesindex van dertig toonaangevende fondsen stond in de middaghandel op een verlies van 1,1 procent op 12.146 punten. De breed samengestelde S&P 500 verloor eveneens 1 procent, tot 1345 punten en de technologiegraadmeter Nasdaq noteerde 1,5 procent lager op 2413 punten.

    De olieprijs schoot weer omhoog tot rond de 137 dollar per vat. Handelaren reageerden hiermee op wekelijkse data over de Amerikaanse olievoorraden, die vier keer zo sterk afnamen dan waar analisten op gerekend hadden. De olieprijs is sinds het begin van dit jaar 40 procent gestegen. Vrijdag bereikte de olieprijs een nieuw record van 139 dollar.

    Goldman Sachs

    Het sentiment verzuurde ook door vrees voor meer problemen in de financiële sector. Volgens verschillende beleggers ging het gerucht dat Goldman Sachs, de grootste Amerikaanse investeringsbank, mogelijk moet afschrijven op slechte leningen. De zakenbank daalde 1,7 procent.

    Andere financiële fondsen doken ook in de min en daalden tot hun laagste niveau in vijf jaar. Citigroup en JPMorgan Chase verloren respectievelijk 2,2 procent en 1,5 procent. Lehman Brothers zakte wederom fors met een min van 6,6 procent. Volgens de Britse zakenkrant Financial Times zou Lehman dicht bij een deal met Koreaanse financiële instellingen zijn voor een kapitaalinjectie van 6 miljard dollar.

    "Van de twaalf districten beschreven zeven een tragere of meer bescheiden economische groei in de maand mei. De overgebleven vijf districten beschreven de economische activiteit als 'stabiel' of 'weinig veranderd'.

    Consumentenuitgaven verslechterden verder sinds het laatste rapport, doordat inkomens werden geraakt door de stijgende energie- en voedselprijzen. De Amerikaanse huizenmarkt lijkt nog niet aan de beterende hand te zijn."

    volgende maand uitgewerkt..........

    Retail sales surprise

    Jumpstarted by an infusion of nearly $50 billion in stimulus checks from Uncle Sam, retail sales rose a surprising 1% in May, the fastest increase in six months, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The gain was above the 0.6% expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Excluding autos, sales rose 1.1% compared to an expected 0.8% increase.

    Sales were boosted by higher gasoline and food prices, and by eye-catching gains at building materials stores and furniture stores. Also of note, prices of goods imported into the U.S. rose 2.3% in May, the Labor Department reported Thursday, with elevated prices for petroleum and natural gas mostly behind the gain.
    Separately, the Labor Department said jobless claims rose 25,000 to 384,000 in the week ended June 7.

    Market Watch

    He said the May retail sales report was probably helping in the short term, but was probably not a meaningful indicator of consumer activity, as it was mostly driven by the tax rebate checks.
