9:39 AM Good Morning Market

Following yesterday's heavy losses, induced by a flagging U.S. dollar and poor same-store sales from Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), U.S. futures are resting at breakeven as we head into the open this morning. Many investors are in a wait-and-see mood, as key economic data in the form of durable goods data and existing home sales are due out later this morning. What's more, keep an ear out for a speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, as you can be sure that the currency and bond markets will be listening closely.

In equity news, Nokia (NYSE:NOK) shares could come under pressure today after the company lowered its operating margin forecast to 15 percent for the next one to two years. However, NOK did state that it expects to reach the three-billion mobile subscriptions mark in 2007, one year earlier than initially planned.

Holding with the handset news, Palm (NASDAQ:PALM) reported after the close last night that it now sees second-quarter earnings of 10 to11 cents per share, down from a prior view for 15 to 18 cents per share. Revenue was also lowered to a range of $390 million to $395 million, compared with its prior outlook of $430 million to $450 million. The company added that it now expects to start shipping the Treo 750 for the United States market early in the fiscal third quarter.

Apparently beer is good this morning, as Anheuser-Busch (NYSE:BUD) backed its 2006 forecast, with international beer operations profits expected to decline a bit due to "unfavorable revenue mix" in the U.K. BUD also backed its long-term earnings growth target of seven to 10 percent.

11:36 AM A Glut of Data Hits the Street

While the major market indices could have started off the session in worse shape given yesterday's rather abysmal performance, traders are still in the process of digesting the latest round of economic data hitting the Street. At last check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA - 12,123.1) was up 1.4 points while the S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,385.02) is holding support in the 1,385 region and has gained about three points. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 2,403.5) is still clinging to support in the 2,400 region but has lost about two.

In economic news, U.S. consumer confidence pulled back during November, according to the Conference Board. The index fell to 102.9 in November from a revised 105.1 in October. Economists were expecting a rise to 106.4 from the initial reading. The present situation index fell to 123.6 from 125.1, while the expectations index slipped to 89.2 from 91.9.

Elsewhere, sales of existing U.S. homes rose 0.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.24 million in October, marking the first increase since February. Economists were expecting sales to fall to 6.15 million annualized. Further lending strength to the homebuilding sector, September's sales were revised higher to 6.21 million from 6.18 million initially reported.

Finally, U.S. durable goods orders fell 8.3 percent in October, erasing September's 8.7-percent gain, the Commerce Department reported. The drop marked the largest decline since July 2000. Making up most of the pullback was a 44.5-percent drop in new orders for civilian aircraft. Excluding transportation goods, orders fell 1.7 percent. Economists were anticipating a drop of 4.8 percent.

Let's finish this brief look at this morning's news with a glimpse at Dow Jones component, Boeing (NYSE:BA). The stock has advanced lightly after Air Berlin announced plans to order 60 planes from the aerospace firm. Air Berlin's chief executive Joachim Hunold stated that the airline is "exploring alternatives" for financing the order and will decide next year whether or not to order and exercise options for 40 airbus A320s. This uncertainty over financing has kept investor enthusiasm in check.

1:26 PM The Fed Speaks

Trading is mixed this afternoon as investors sift through the latest comments made by a pair of Federal Reserve members. At last check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA - 12,116.2) had dropped 5.5 points and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 2,401.7) had slipped four points. One the other hand, the S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,383.56) has edged almost two points higher.

Fed chief Ben Bernanke reaffirmed his belief that halting a long string of interest-rate hikes in August was a good decision. In a speech examining most of the hot topics captivating Wall Street economists, Bernanke said the economy is still on track to expand at a moderate pace during the next year without slowing too much. He said that inflation is already "better behaved of late" and should continue to slow gradually. Much of his speech was used to gently dampen two of the major fears about the outlook - that the housing market would push the economy into a full-fledged recession, or that inflation pressures were like a smoldering campfire, seemingly controlled but ready to burst in the next strong wind.

Elsewhere, president of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank Charles Plosser said in a separate speech that the Federal Reserve may need to raise its overnight interest-rate target above 5.25 percent to keep inflation under control. Plosser said it's possible inflation could return to acceptable levels without further hikes, but stressed that the Fed must act to back up its words or it will lose credibility.

In other news around the Street, DuPont (NYSE:DD) announced that it has agreed to sell its special adhesives business to Bostik GmbH, no later than December 31. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
