    Standard & Poor’s 500 Index recovered most of a 1.2 percent morning slide as Hewlett-Packard Co. led gains in technology shares. Global equities slid, with Japanese shares plunging the most since the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster. Copper sank and the yen rallied. The S&P 500 fell less than 0.3 percent at 4 p.m. in New York after losing as much as 1.2 percent in the first half hour.

    The MSCI All-Country World Index declined 1.3 percent and Japan’s Topix Index slumped 6.9 percent, the most since March 2011. The yen rose against its 16 major peers, gaining 1.4 percent to 101.75 per dollar. Ten-year Treasury yields lost 2.5 basis points to 2.02 percent after topping 2 percent yesterday for the first time since March. Copper sank more than 2 percent in London, leading commodities lower.

    Hewlett-Packard jumped 14 percent as cost cuts helped its earnings and forecast top estimates. The drop in global stocks came after factory output in China shrank for the first time in seven months and overseas investors reacted to growing concern the U.S. Federal Reserve will scale back its monetary stimulus program. Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said today he wants to continue the current pace of bond purchases as long as falling inflation is a concern.

    The swing in stocks “really shows the nervousness in the marketplace that at any given time a piece of exogenous news can quickly change the psychology,” Rick Bensignor, head of trading strategy at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in New York, said in a phone interview. “But you’re going to have your confirmed bulls that will use any pullbacks at all to buy. There is enough of the street that thinks that the S&P 500 has a few more hundred points to go.”

    While Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said in prepared remarks to Congress yesterday that a premature withdrawal of stimulus would put the economic recovery at risk, he later told lawmakers that the central bank will reduce the flow of purchases as the outlook for the labor market improves.

    The S&P 500 lost about 1.1 percent in two days, its biggest retreat in more than a month. Utilities in the index tumbled 2.4 percent in the past two sessions as yesterday’s jump in bond yields reduced demand for their dividends. Utilities pay 3.8 percent of their price in dividends for the second highest yield among 10 groups, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

    U.S. stocks pared losses today as government data showed sales of new homes climbed 2.3 percent to a three-month high of 454,000 homes at an annualized pace from a 444,000 rate in March that was faster than first estimated. The median estimate of 76 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a gain to 425,000. The median selling price rose to a record on sales of more expensive properties. A gauge of 11 homebuilders in S&P indexes jumped 1.3 percent.


    Jobless claims decreased more than forecast, falling by 23,000 to 340,000 in the week ended May 18, Labor Department figures showed. The median forecast of 50 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a drop to 345,000.
