China East Air Depository Receipt (Nasdaq:CEA), Florida Public Utilities Co. (Nasdaq:FPU) and Imergent Inc. (Nasdaq:IIG) are among the biggest percentage gainers in Monday's trading among companies with market capitalizations under $1 billion.

Also included among the results: Providence Service Corp. (Nasdaq:PRSC), China Southern Airlines (Nasdaq:ZNH), Frisch's Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq:FRS), Hi-Tech Pharmacal Inc. (Nasdaq:HITK), Zion Oil and Gas Inc. (Nasdaq:ZN) and MSB Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:MSBF).

Small-cap stocks edged lower, unable to maintain a mild opening gain as a jump in unemployment claims to 26-year highs cast a shadow over surging mortgage activity and better-than-feared durable goods orders. Commodities were struggling early today, with crude oil sinking and industrial metals slumping to four-year lows, which weighed on commodity themed stocks. At 9:54 a.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down 2.26, or 0.48% at 466.37.

The weekly unemployment claims report came in at 586,000, which marks a new cycle high and is the highest in 26 years and which also was above the projection of 550,000. In addition, the four-week moving average was at 26-year peak, but the number of Americans remaining on unemployment insurance (known as continuing claims) came in at 4.37 million, which was slightly below projections and helped take some of the sting off the leap in headline claims.

The government is scrunching a bunch of data into a short time frame this week because of the holiday, and durable goods orders and personal income data came out this morning in tandem with the claims release. The durable goods report came out at minus 1.0%, which was much better than the forecast for a slide of 3.0%, and which helped tug stock index futures up off the lows. The personal income report came in at minus 0.2%, which was below the projection for no change.

Earlier this morning, the weekly MBA Mortgage Application Index jumped 48% to the highest point since July 2003 and the refinance sub-index soared 62.6% to the highest point since July 2004 (roughly corresponding with the housing boom peak). The surge in mortgage activity was powered by a decline in 30-year mortgage rates to 5.04%, the lowest level since June 2003. There is some hope that a resurgence in mortgage activity will help put a bottom in the moribund housing market and that the rise in refinance activity will free up consumer funds to help spending.

Small-cap stocks remained higher into the midday time frame, but the market did pull back well off the morning highs. A White House lifeline to automakers lifted market sentiment, and tech stocks were solid performers, helping to counter declines in retail and some commodity names, but the morning rise appeared to be on precarious footing heading into afternoon trading. Some of today’s small-cap gainers are MAP Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:MAPP), AbitibiBowater (NYSE:ABH) and China Eastern Airlines Corp.  (NYSE:CEA).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• The poorest performers so far included forest products, steel companies, home improvement retailers, footwear manufacturers and dept stores 
• The market could be vulnerable to a “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact” response to the automaker bailout now that the package is a known event.
• Energy stocks are up about 1% even though crude oil prices are down about $0.70 a barrel and tumbled to fresh 4 ½-year lows earlier today.  
• The best performers are industrial REITs, automobile manufacturers, IT consulting firms, gas utilities companies, managed healthcare firms.  
• Small-cap stocks remained higher into the midday time frame, but the market did pull back well off the morning highs.

Small-cap stocks opened higher, bolstered by news that the White House extended a rescue loan to beleaguered automakers, which sparked money flow into stocks and away from credit markets. Commodities are on weak footing this morning and credit ratings for a bevy of financial firms were lowered overnight, which could limit some buying enthusiasm. Investors will be on the lookout for pockets of unexpected volatility today as “quadruple witching” expirations take place.  Some of today’s small-cap gainers are MAP Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:MAPP), AbitibiBowater (NYSE:ABH) and China Eastern Airlines Corp.  (NYSE:CEA).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• Obscured by this morning’s auto enthusiasm was news that credit ratings agencies were downgrading financial and bank companies overnight .
• As for crude oil, the market on “black gold” was down $1.50 a barrel into the stock market open, which could weigh on energy shares again.  
• With the U.S. dollar in rally mode this morning (up about 2% against the euro), it’s likely that commodity markets in general will struggle.  
• Heading into today’s action, stock markets overseas were on the defensive, with Asian equities slipping about 0.6%.

Small-cap stocks opened higher, bolstered by news that the White House extended a rescue loan to beleaguered automakers, which sparked money flow into stocks and away from credit markets. Commodities are on weak footing this morning and credit ratings for a bevy of financial firms were lowered overnight, which could limit some buying enthusiasm. Investors will be on the lookout for pockets of unexpected volatility today as “quadruple witching” expirations take place. At 9:53 a.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was up 11.67, or 2.44%, at 490.84.

The White House this morning announced plans to extend a bridge loan to automakers, tapping TARP funds for $13.4 billion. The deal includes various restrictions, including executive pay caps and will allow a second draw from TARP funds in February. Investors embraced the news, erasing a 1% slide in stock index futures overnight in anticipation of the announcement. Shares in General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM) were up 13% shortly after the open, while Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) was up 8%. GM said they would hold a press conference at 11 a.m. ET.

Speaking of TARP issues, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said this morning that he will go to Congress to ask for the second half of the TARP funding, which means that $350 billion has been spent and they want to start rolling out the second $350 billion soon. Paulson said he would go to Congress when “everyone agrees” it is the right time, in a clear attempt to avert rancorous political situations this time around, as it seems unlikely Congress will simply rubber stamp the funds like they did the first time around.

Today marks “quadruple witching” expirations for various stock derivatives products, which could stir a little extra volatility into the pot. There is always a sense of the unknown into a big year-end expiration like today, but my general rule . . .

A bleak picture of the nation’s employment picture sparked a solid opening decline for small-cap stocks. Bearish momentum was furthered by a batch of weak profit reports and outlooks for various companies, but another firm tone in commodities offered up support. Some of today’s small-cap gainers are China Eastern Airlines Corp. Ltd. (NYSE:CEA), China Southern Airlines Co. Ltd. (NYSE:ZNH) and Amylin Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:AMLN).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• The International Trade report also came out this morning and the deficit widened to $57.19 billion, well above the forecast for a deficit of $53.5 billion.

A bleak picture of the nation’s employment picture sparked a solid opening decline for small-cap stocks. Bearish momentum was furthered by a batch of weak profit reports and outlooks for various companies, but another firm tone in commodities offered up support. At 9:57 a.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down 4.03, or 0.85%, at 472.37.

The weekly unemployment claims report headline figure came in at 573,000, which swamped the forecast of 525,000 and which was a cycle high so far in the economic malaise. What’s more, it also marked the highest claims number in 26 years. Even more scary is that the number of continuing claims, which tracks people who are out of work and just can’t get a job, rose to 4.429 million, way above the 4.1 million forecast and the highest point since November 1974. It has been fashionable to rally on “bad” economic news lately amid ideas that the market will be forward looking and rally away from the lows long before the news bottoms out, but it is difficult to look past numbers as bad as today’s claims report – especially if you don’t see things getting better for some time to come.

“Although the labor force is much larger now that it was 25 years ago, the number of people actually covered by unemployment insurance has declined substantially,” Steven Wood, chief economist with Insight Economics, said in an email. “More importantly, the deterioration in initial claims, continuing claims, and the insured jobless rate has been as bad as they were during the 1981-1982 recession, which was the most severe in the post-World War II period. Although these data are not for the survey week, they suggest another substantial decline in payroll employment and another jump in the unemployment rate for December.”

The International Trade report also came out this morning and the deficit widened to $57.19 billion, well above the forecast for a deficit of $53.5 billion. The U.S. dollar extended overnight losses against the euro after the report, with the . . .

Small-cap stocks soared into mid-session trading, with financial, energy and gold stocks driving an impressive rally to provide confirmation of Friday’s big rally. The market continues to find bullish inspiration on economic advisor appointments by President-elect Obama, who announced his team today in just the second major press conference since he won the presidential vote earlier this month. Some of today’s small-cap gainers are Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods (NYSE:WBD), General Cable Corp. (NYSE:BGC) and SL Green Realty Corp.  (NYSE:SLG).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• Investment banks, brokerage firms, diverse financial instruments, wireless telecoms, homebuilders, coal, real estate services all higher.  
• Gold stocks were seeing huge gains today, boosted by safe haven flows.  
• Commodities in general were a big factor in the stock market rise today, supported by a slide in the U.S. dollar against the euro.  
• Crude oil prices extended the morning rally into midday, rising some $4 a barrel, which stoked a 5% surge in energy stocks.

Small-cap stocks finished off one of the worst months in history with a four-day rally fueled by improving credit conditions, month-end bargain hunting and a willingness by investors to look beyond current weak economic fundamentals.

Small-cap stocks staged an impressive rally into midday trading, bolstered by signs of thawing in the credit market freeze, month-end bargain hunting and a renewed appetite for riskier market bets amid hope that the October collapse in equities has already priced in the worst of the economic news. At 12:20 p.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was up 13.14, or 2.56%, at 527.32, on target for a fourth consecutive daily gain, something that hasn’t happened in five months.

Speaking of riskier bets, the top performing broad market sector so far today has been casinos, followed up by homebuilders, semiconductor equipment, airlines, insurance brokers, construction materials, wireless telecoms and health care services. On the downside, photo products, hotels, agriculture products, metal and mining stocks and gold shares were out of favor.

Inter-bank lending rates have tumbled to the 3% zone, down some 14 consecutive trading sessions, and well off the peak above 5% at the beginning of October when mistrust and fear spiked up lending rates among banks as the credit crisis fueled a run of disasters among large financial companies. During today’s rally, financial stocks were doing well, with the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund up 2.7%.

Energy and commodity shares were a drag on the market, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund down 0.3% while crude oil prices edged lower on concerns about the demand picture amid a global economic slowdown. The commodity story also was pulled down today by a resurgent U.S. dollar, with the greenback up 1.3% against the euro.

A bevy of economic reports this morning were basically in line with expectations, save for a dour reading on Midwest manufacturing seen in the Chicago purchasing manager’s survey, which tumbled to 37.8, way below the forecast of . . .

In one of the more jarring and widely anticipated stock market openings in history, small-cap stocks plummeted to fresh bear market lows while hitting the lowest point since August 2003. The freefall was precipitated by a collapse in overseas markets amid profit warnings in Asia, ongoing worries about a worldwide economic slowdown and talk of forced liquidation. At 10:04 a.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down 16.80, or 3.43%, at 473.12. An upside surprise in existing home sales helped stocks pare early losses.

Fear and dread ahead of today’s opening was heightened by limit-down losses and the activation of trading halt circuit breakers overnight in stock index futures. While a 5% opening slide ranks among the worst in history, there was actually some sense of relief among investors that the initial plunge wasn’t even worse than what we saw.

Existing home sales came in at 5.18 million units, well above the forecast of 4.98 million. The September rise of 5.5% marked the highest percentage rise since July 2003 and the rate was the best since August 2007. After a bleak report on foreclosures Thursday, the existing home sales report was a nice surprise for the market, but probably won’t be enough to say to investors that the housing market bottom is in place.

“World wide markets appear to be in a free-fall this morning. Circuit breakers on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) futures have already been implemented on a pre-opening basis. We would not be surprised to see VIX above the 90 level and even above 100 level, setting new all-time highs as risk perceptions rise to levels not witnessed,” Scott Fullman, director of derivative investment strategy with WJB Capital Group, said in an email.

“The cost of hedging has been rising and is now costing nearly as much as it would be to take losses. This will likely impact liquidity for the derivative markets, which may result in further impacts on implied volatility levels. This may be a sign . . .

Today’s small-cap gainers are Insituform Tech (Nasdaq:INSU), Align Technology (Nasdaq:ALGN) and Hittite Microwave (Nasdaq:HITT).

Other Market Watch highlights today include:

• We are heading toward one of the worst months in stock market history and while everyone seems to be trying to peg the bottom, there are no signs yet that one is in place.  
• The yield on benchmark 10-year notes was down more than 4%.   The yield on 30-year bonds tumbled to the lowest in history since the product issuance began back in 1977.
• With equity markets in panic liquidation mode and investors scrambling for a safe-haven outlet, demand for Treasury products has been extreme

Small Cap Gainers:

Small-cap stocks endured a choppy day of trading Tuesday, vacillating between positive and negative territory as index traders juggled both the positive and negative stock market implications of a rise in crude oil prices. In addition, the market struggled to evaluate the supportive side of an upside surprise in consumer confidence and a strong U.S. dollar against Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concerns about slower spending and the potential for further declines in payroll numbers. In the end, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) closed up 2.97, or 0.41%, at 723.51. For the year, the Russell is now down 5.5%, while the Dow is off 13.9% and the S&P 500 is down 13.4%.

Despite the uneven action today in small caps, it should be noted that price moves took place on relatively light volume, as we are winding down the summer vacation season, both here in the United States and abroad. Of greater significance is that the market has plunged back into the old range, validating the bearish topping pattern from the recent highs. In addition, the violation of key support along the 726 zone now leaves the market vulnerable to a slide toward the next logical support area near 711.50.

The lasting impression from today’s action could very well be the somber tone on the FOMC minutes (although the higher close certainly tames those concerns); but there were plenty of economic hurdles to navigate earlier this morning, including reports on housing and consumer confidence. The biggest surprise was a better-than-expected reading on consumer confidence, which laid the foundation for a relatively solid morning in stocks. The headline figure on confidence came in at 56.9, which was above the forecast of 53. It’s still not a lofty figure historically, but the . . .
