Russell in the red; LTM, USG, and MR lead gainers
Small-cap stocks opened higher but quickly slipped into negative territory, as a bounce in banking and commodity stocks and a rise in overseas equities was countered by weak profit reports for a raft of small-cap firms. The market is clearly oversold following dramatic losses this week, which could power a pre-weekend short-covering bounce, but fear about the slumping global economy remains a big part of negative investor psychology. Today’s small-cap gainers are Life Time Fitness Inc. (NYSE:LTM), USG Corporation. (NYSE:USG) and Mindray Medical (NYSE:MR).
