[November 21, 2009] Wall-Street-Open Tweet (Canadian Press Broadcast Wire (Canada) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEW YORK --- Stocks are falling in the early moments of trading as the U-S dollar strengthens further, and after a week of mixed economic reports. Overseas markets declined. With little economic news to help sway the market Friday, the U-S dollar is again pressuring stocks. A disappointing earnings report from computer maker Dell is also weighing on the market. With investors leaving stocks, U-S Treasury prices are up, pushing yields lower. The three-month T-bill's yield is hovering near its lowest level of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average is down 29.70, or 0.3 per cent, at 10,302.74. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 4.29, or 0.4 per cent, at 1,091.61, while the Nasdaq composite index is down 36.32, or 1.7 per cent, at 2,144.06.
