The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is down triple digits as recent economic data has disappointed investors. Lower than forecast growth in service industries and employment sent stocks lower. Treasuries prices are higher for the fourth straight day and CD rates continue to head lower along with online savings rates. The latest news has damped optimism about the health of the U.S. economy and the future direction of interest rates. The best CD rates around are very low for both short term certificates of deposit and long term certificates of deposit.

U.S. stock prices opened today’s session lower after ADP Employer Service’s tally of jobs growth in April was only 179,000. Economist’s forecast for the survey was higher than the actual number. The median forecast for jobs growth was 198,000.

Another factor sending stock prices lower today was the release the Institute for Supply Management saying its gauge of non-manufacturing companies is at the lowest level in eight months.
