NEW YORK |
Tue May 15, 2012 5:26pm EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks fell for the eighth day in the past 10 on Tuesday as uncertainty stemming from the political stalemate in Greece gave investors another reason to be cautious and sellers came out in force late in the session.

The SP 500 fell for the third straight session as attempts to form a government in Greece fell apart, raising the possibility of a rejection of the bailout terms spelled out by the European Union for the fiscally troubled nation.

After holding near the unchanged mark for much of the session, stocks moved lower in the absence of positive news to turn the tide of negative sentiment.

“Those who are looking for a little bit of a bounce off the last eight trading sessions lost their nerve because there is really nothing out there to indicate the broader story has changed,” said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital in Jersey City, New Jersey.

The concerns about upheaval in the euro zone and its effect on the global economy weighed on energy and materials stocks, with U.S. crude down for the third straight day. The SP energy index .GSPE and the SP materials index .GSPM each dropped 1.5 percent.

Quarterly results helped boost retailers TJX (TJX.N), up 6.9 percent at $42.45, and Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS.N), up 5.9 percent at $50.05.

U.S. retail sales rose 0.1 percent in April, slightly below expectations. However, details in the Commerce Department’s report indicating underlying strength in demand and a rebound in manufacturing activity in New York State calmed concerns that the economy was stalling.

The declines on Tuesday pushed the SP 500 down more than 6 percent from its early April high, leaving some investors optimistic that the pullback may be nearing an end as stock prices become more attractive.

“We could go a little lower, but not much lower. It’s hard to ignore the fundamentals – and clearly there are some good fundamentals and prices,” said Mark Martiak, senior wealth strategist at Premier/First Allied Securities in New York.

Data showing an index of home builders’ sentiment at a five-year high in May helped lift the sector’s shares. The PHLX housing index .HGX advanced 0.6 percent. But Home Depot (HD.N) shares lost 2.4 percent to $48.67 and ranked as the biggest drag on the Dow after the home improvement retailer posted quarterly sales that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.

LONDON |
Mon May 14, 2012 4:55am EDT

LONDON (Reuters) – The euro hit four month lows and shares fell on Monday as the increasing likelihood of a new election in Greece worsened the sense of crisis in the euro zone and China’s latest move to loosen monetary policy only added to investor risk aversion.

The refusal of a major leftist party to join a new Greek government has brought the prospect of its exit from the euro a step closer. The region’s finance ministers, gathering in Brussels, also face a worsening fiscal position in Spain.

Adding to the negative tone for the higher risk sector, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives suffered a crushing defeat on Sunday in an election in Germany’s most populous state.

“Selling rallies in risk assets seems the best way to make money in most asset classes given the event risk is still very real this week.” said Chris Weston, an institutional dealer at IG Markets.

Safe haven German bonds and the U.S. dollar gained from the drive for safety with the June German Bund future setting a record high of 143.17, up 40 ticks, in early trade.

The dollar rose 0.2 percent against a basket of major currencies to 80.45 .DXY, helping send the euro to its lowest in nearly four months at $1.2878.

China’s cut in the amount of cash banks must hold as reserves only served to fuel fears the European crisis was hurting global growth, leaving the MSCI’s broad world equity index .MIWD00000PUS down 0.2 percent after it fell two percent last week. The key FTSE Eurofirst .FTEU3 index of top European shares opened down 1.1 percent at 1,011.48.

Oil and copper also eased on concerns over the demand outlook.
