Stocks slip as European protests worsen debt fears

Stocks falter in early trade, following European markets lower on austerity protests

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks slipped in early trading Wednesday as a wave of protests against austerity measures in Europe brought new worries about the region's financial system.

The dollar fell further against other currencies on anticipation of more action by the Federal Reserve to push U.S. interest rates down. Gold continued to climb past $1,300.

European markets fell as demonstrators gathered in Brussels, Spain and Ireland to protest austerity measures aimed at preventing another fiscal crisis that required a bailout of Greece earlier this year. The protests raised concerns that countries like Spain will not be able to implement policies required to heal their bloated public finances.

U.S. stocks had swooned this spring as a fiscal crisis in Greece appeared to be spreading to other weak European economies like Portugal and Spain. A relative calm in European markets since then has allowed U.S. stocks to rise sharply.

Wednesday's decline in U.S. stocks marked another pause in a monthlong rally that has made this September one of the strongest for U.S. stocks in history.

Abraxas Petroleum Corporation AXAS

Abraxas Provides Operational Update

“These past two months have been busy operationally and we look forward to announcing well results in the near future, or in the case of the Williston Basin, as soon as service equipment becomes available. In any emerging play with rapidly increasing activity levels, drilling rigs, service equipment and crews become scarce until equipment is relocated and crews trained. For example, the Ravin well took much longer to drill than originally anticipated as we experienced a number of down days as the drilling rig was poorly equipped, poorly maintained and run by an inexperienced crew. That being said, the rig is getting a complete overhaul before moving to our second operated location. We plan on continuing our divestiture program throughout the end of the year and if we are successful, we anticipate an additional $15 – $20 million in net proceeds,” commented Bob Watson, Abraxas' President and CEO.
