Market Wrap for July 3, 2008: After opening appreciably higher, thestock market closed Thursday just above the unchanged mark asparticipants traded listlessly in a shortened session just ahead of theIndependence Day holiday. The Nasdaq, however, finished with a loss asweakness in the semiconductor industry weighed on the index. Notably,the latest batch of economic data also failed to spur buying interest.

The stock market fell to just above the 1250 mark shortly after openingbell, but was able to climb into positive ground amid broad-basedgains. Still, the advance was limited as leadership failed to emerge.Action in the largest sector, technology (+0.1%), was offset by energy(-0.5%), which is the second-largest economic sector.

Technology's advance was held in check by weakness among semiconductorcompanies. NVIDIA (NVDA 12.49, -5.54) plummeted 30% after providing adisappointing outlook to its investors after yesterday's close. Sharesof Intel (INTC 20.66, -0.27) also dipped in response to theannouncement.

While economic news did little to kick start buying, it did not turnparticipants away. The unemployment rate for June came in at 5.5%,exceeding the 5.4% rate that was expected. Nonfarm payrolls fell by62,000 during the month, unchanged from the prior month, but a bit morethan economists expected. Jobless claims for the week ending June 28totaled 404,000, reflecting a loosening labor market. The week's claimstopped the 385,000 claims economists expected and were up from theprior week. Importantly, the data are consistent with a modestlygrowing economy and are not far enough from expectations to alter suchan economic outlook.
