Down 562 as of this posting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is reversing Thursday’s gains on a negative session opening on Friday. The quarterly earnings of some of the largest US banks have failed to cheer investors, who are already feeling frail sentiment on lower hopes of monetary easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) have posted softer-than-expected results in the first quarter, which is weighing on the financial sector. Beyond that, mega-caps and chipmakers are suffering on the back of news reporting that China has told telecom firms to phase out foreign chips.
The NASDAQ is leading losses on Friday, down 1.1% to 16,258, the S&P 500 drops 0.96% to 5,149, and the Dow Jones trades with a 0.8% loss at 38,148 halfway through the North American morning session.
JPMorgan is taking the biggest blow on Friday with a 5.34% decline to $184.96 following disappointing quarterly data, while Intel (INTC), which has been crushed by news about China’s decision, is 3.8% lower to $36.19.

Gold is above $2400.00.....Oil is up to about $86 a barrel.
Triple A says the average cost of a gallon of gas is $3.63 .
That's up six cents from last Thursday, and twenty three cents from last month's average.
Thanks FJB.
