Schwab Market Update: Stocks Finish on a Losing Streak

Posted: 11/20/09 4:15 PM ET

Markets finished modestly lower, extending their losing streak to three as stocks gave back some gains and ended the week mixed. Technology shares came under pressure after disappointing results from Dell, while Gap and Ann Taylor added to the downbeat sentiment by warning that they expect to see heavy price discounting this holiday season. Alcoa was also under pressure after announcing it will idle its Italian operations. Other news was more positive though as J.M. Smucker and Intuit both beat analyst EPS forecasts and Proctor & Gamble issued upbeat commentary. Treasuries finished today lower as there were no major economic reports released today.
