Stocks falter despite global markets rally
Stocks can't maintain a global market rally as a late afternoon fade pulls stocks lower. China's growth slowed to its worst level in 25 years, while oil slipped below $29 a barrel. Yahoo Finance's Nicole Sinclair broke down all of today's action.
Winners & losers
Stocks slipping to start the week include Twitter, sinking to new lows after a site outage, ConocoPhillips, down after announcing job cuts, and Tiffany, the blue-boxed luxury goods maker selling off after reporting holiday sales softened this year. Tiffany cut its forward guidance, and has announced a round of job cuts.
On the flipside, today's winners were Viacom, as activists target the media company, Shake Shack on an upgrade, and Macy's. David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital revealed a stake in the department store chain, arguing Macy's could become a takeover target. Separately Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren told CNBC that it would be pursuing options to unlock value in its real estate holdings.
