36 min ago [BRIEFING.COM] Stocks open with little fanfare as the absence of notable economic data, no Monday merger announcements and not much corporate news offer investors little incentive to aggressively get back into buying mode following the market's steepest weekly decline in more than a year. A 3.3% surge in General Motors (GM 26.20 +0.85), after the UAW and Delphi reached an agreement Friday that may help ease union pressures on GM, and Lehman Brothers (LEH 65.80 +0.19) posting a 47% rise in Q2 earnings, are offering some early support. However, key inflation reports (PPI and CPI) and a host of more Fed speak throughout the week will set a more definitive tone to trading as investors continue to search for a technical bottom.
