Stocks slid early Thursday as JPMorgan Chase's surprise profit was countered by reports that Bank of America needs billions more in funding to complete its purchase of Merrill Lynch.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) dropped nearly 1% in the early going, and was down as much as 115 points before rebounding. The Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index lost 1.1% and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) fell 1%.
Stocks tumbled on Wednesday, with all three major gauges closing at 6-week lows. It was the sixth down session in a row for the Dow.
The weakness continued early Thursday, as investors considered the developments in the banking sector as well as news that Apple chief Steve Jobs will take a medical leave through the end of the second quarter.
Government reports on the job market and inflation were also in focus.
On Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department said that jobless claims totaled 524,000 in the week ended Jan. 10, an increase of 54,000 from the week before. That was more than expected.
The Labor Department said the Producer Price Index fell 1.9% in December. Without food and automobile sales, the wholesale index edged up 0.2%.
Financials: Early Thursday, JP Morgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) announced fourth-quarter profit of 7 cents per share, besting analyst expectations of a flat quarter, according to a consensus compiled by Thomson Reuters. The banking company reported a 1% decline in revenue to $17.2 billion in revenue, below the analysts' forecast of $18.8 billion.
JPMorgan Chase shares slipped about 2% in premarket trading.
"I think it's good news that JP Morgan Chase has better-than-expected earnings, but I don't think the numbers are going to dispel the pall that's been cast over the banking sector," said Robert Brusca, chief economist at Fact and Opinion Economics. "At the end of the day, 'bank' is a four-letter word."
Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) is negotiating for billions more in aid from the federal government to digest its recent acquisition of Merrill Lynch, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The request for more aid comes as the Senate is poised to vote on a resolution that seeks to block the release of the second half of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to the Treasury Department.
