US MARKET BREAKING NEWS 22/8

1. Stocks finished flat in thin, choppy trading Monday, erasing most of the session's earlier rally as traders were hesitant to fully jump in without any proper market conviction.

 

2. Stocks shaved their earlier gains in thin-volume trading Monday as the lack of market conviction hindered traders from jumping in. H-P rallied, BofA slumped.

 
3. Stocks jumped at the open Monday, helped by gains in the European markets and after all three major averages logged their biggest four-week decline since Mar. 2009 in the previous week.
