DJ Industrial Average (.DJX) $86.43 +0.76%
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJX) rebounded from a 733-point loss early, but fell into the red after the latest Philadelphia Fed Survey plummeted to a worse-than-expected -37.5 in October. Economists were looking for the gauge of manufacturing activity to fall to -10. The Dow staged a modest rebound after the kneejerk reaction to the headline, but is once again being weighed down by the financials. JP Morgan (JPM), Citi (C) and American Express (AXP) are leading the morning decline. Relative strength is being seen in Merck (MRK), Alcoa (XOM), and Exxon Mobile (XOM). Dow component IBM (IBM) reports after the closing bell. The Dow Jones Volatility Index (.VXD) is up .53 to 65.05.
