NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Morgan Stanley was the winner among the largest U.S. financial names on Friday, with shares rising over 3% to close at $13.49.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.5% and climbed over 13,000 for the first time since May 8, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite indexes both saw gains of 2%, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande issued a joint statement saying that “Germany and France are deeply committed to the integrity of the eurozone,” and that the two countries “are determined to do everything to protect the eurozone.”

The joint statement followed Thursday’s statement by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, that “the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro,” and “believe me, it will be enough.” …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The major U.S. averages were surging in early trading Thursday after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi pledged to do everything possible to guarantee the survival of the eurozone.

A fall in initial jobless claims and a rise in durable goods orders in the U.S. also was encouraging the risk rally.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — U.S. stocks finished sharply lower Friday as soaring Spanish borrowing costs renewed concerns about Europe’s debt crisis.

The sour market mood prompted a broad decline across risk asset classes as well as a sharp spike in bond prices with the five-year Treasury yield touching a record low. The latest round of earnings reports were mixed as well, lending little support for equities. Still, the major indices did finish higher for the week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 121 points, or 0.93%, to close at 12,823. The move pushed the blue-chip index back into negative territory for the month. For the week, though, the Dow rose 0.36%, and the year-to-date gain sits at 4.95%. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Stocks fell sharply Monday morning as a better-than-expected new home sales report failed to mollify investor anxiety about the potential outcome of the eurozone summit later this week.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Stocks were down late in a choppy session Wednesday as investors expressed mild disappointment with the Federal Reserve’s much-anticipated decision to prolong its Operation Twist bond maturity extension program.

The major U.S. equity indices initially endured a sharp sell-off following the announcement then turned slightly positive before slumping again as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke met the press. The chairman didn’t offer up many surprises, staying circumspect about what it would take for the central bank to embark on another round of quantitative easing and acknowledging that Europe’s woes have slowed U.S. economic growth.

“We are hopeful that Europe will take additional measures and do what it takes to stabilize the situation,” Bernanke said, adding that he believes eurozone policymakers have a very strong incentive to “get it right.” …

NEW YORK (CNBC) — Finding reasons not to like the current stock market doesn’t take much work, as the faltering U.S. economy, European debt crisis and looming fiscal cliff makes the job pretty easy.

But devising a list to be bullish — after one dismisses the usual “stocks are cheap” and “best house in a bad neighborhood” platitudes — takes some work, especially if your natural inclination is that the market is heading lower. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — International regulators could ease the liquidity requirements under new international banking capital rules in response to the European crisis, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

New Basel capital rules designed to make the international financial system safer require banks to hold more capital against risky assets and also step up liquidity in order to deal with cash crunches at the time of crisis.

The rules kick in from next year and will have to be fully implemented by 2019. …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Stocks lost ground Wednesday as worries about the stability of the eurozone bubbled up once again.

The major U.S. equity indices swooned late in the day following reports that Greek banks are seeing elevated levels of withdrawals ahead of the country’s crucial general elections this weekend. The vote is being seen as a referendum on the austerity measures Greece will need to adhere to in order to remain part of the eurozone.

Adding to the concerns was news that Egan Jones cut its rating on Spain to CCC-plus from B. Reuters said the downgrade was the ratings agency’s fourth cut for Spain since April. …
