Today’s close: minus 2.13 percent

Caterpillar took a mild beating on a day when oil futures continued to sink and the previously impregnable Toyota announced it expects to notch its first loss in 70 years, sending a shudder through the markets.

Another down day, alas

Cat’s numbers:

  • Friday’s close, 42.69
  • Today’s open, 43.12
  • Range: 40.82 – 43.49
  • Close: 41.78, down 0.91 (-2.13%)
  • Volume: 9,009,414

The Indexes:

  • Dow, 8519.69, -59.42 (-0.69%)
  • S&P 500, 871.63, -16.25 (-1.83%)
  • Nasdaq, 1532.35, -31.97 (-2.04%)

So much for the Santa Claus rally. About the only bright spot is the declining volume, which should endure all week with many financial players taking Christmas vacation.
