Small-cap stocks threw a gasket in the final hour of trading Friday, giving back a lion’s share of Thursday’s stunning rally off new bear market lows while finishing with the lowest weekly close since August 2003. Slumping tech stocks, dreadful retail sales and a risk-averse mentality took a toll on a market that is starting to get a penchant for wicked afternoon volatility. The Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) closed down 34.71, or 7.07% at 456.52 and is now down 40% for 2008, while the Dow is off 36% for the year and the S&P 500 is down 41%.

Small caps entered the day on a mildly weak note, unable to graft higher on modest gains in Europe and Asia and seemingly not able to revive the manic bargain-hunter push from Thursday afternoon. A big part of the problem is that no matter how hard investors try to write off ugly economic data, at some point the blows wear down psychology, kind of like a fighter who’s been absorbing body shots for several rounds.

The latest stinger on the data front was this morning’s retail sales report, which posted the largest October decline on record (the series only dates back to 1992). The slide was 2.8%, well below the forecast for a decline of 1.5%, but perhaps a little closer to the “worst case” scenarios that were floating about. It doesn’t help matters that consumer spending appears to be falling off a cliff into the holiday season and a fresh batch of earnings reports from retail firms simply added to the spending worries.

The S&P Retail Index tumbled about 7% today as a recurring theme played out for stores that we all frequent from time to time – everything from apparel to home improvement to electronics – they all basically warned that forward projections were at risk as the U.S. economy lurches through the recession. Speaking of recession, eurozone economists beat the official U.S. designators to the punch by . . .
