AIG is one of the worst faring companies this year; its shares are down more than 95% year-to-date.

Small-cap stocks are showing some of the best gains. The Russell 2000 is currently up 3.2%.

The dollar gained versus the euro, erasing earlier losses, on speculation foreign investors in U.S. stocks bought the dollar at the end of the month to keep their currency hedge ratios constant, said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at TD Securities Inc. in Toronto.
``Foreign investors buying U.S. equities sell the dollar as a hedge,'' said Osborne. ``Because the value of the stocks has declined so much, they have to buy back the dollar to maintain their hedge ratios.''Gross domestic product shrank 0.3 percent in the third quarter, its biggest decline since the 2001 recession, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The median forecast of 75 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 0.5 percent drop.

``The market is getting benefits from all the positive measures the central banks are taking,'' said Alan Ruskin, head of international currency strategy in North America at RBS Greenwich Capital Markets Inc. in Greenwich, Connecticut. ``I see risk appetite improving in a choppy fashion in the coming month and some moderate weakness in the dollar and the yen.''

Stocks recently fell into negative ground, but recently pulled upward. One of the session's weakest performers is Cigna (CI 15.30, -4.55). The company issued downside guidance upon announcing its latest results. The stock is also one of the hardes hit this year. Going into this session, the stock had already posted a total year-to-date return of -63%. Rumors are also circulating that a tier one firm has downgraded the stock to Sell.

Following the FOMC's decision yesterday to cut the fed funds target rate to 1.00% from 1.50%, central banks in Asia followed by trimming target rates as well. In addition to the rate cuts, the Fed opened dollar swap lines with certain central banks, including Brazil, Mexico, and South Korea.
Underscoring the session's positive tone is the fact gainers in the S&P 500 outnumber losers by a margin of 4-to-1.
Apple (AAPL 109.66) is one of the best performers in the S&P 500. Its shares have rebounded 15% since Monday's closing. The stock has been hit particularly hard as investors fear consumers will be less willing to pay for gadgets like iPods, iPhones, or Apple's personal computers and laptops, which typically cost more than those of competitors.

WTI Nymex crude oil is at $66.90, down 60 cents.

Morgan Stanley says Q3 GDP at -0.3% "was very close to expectations," but had 4 surprises that were "roughly offsetting." Federal government purchases and nonresidential construction were high and inventories and net exports advanced less than anticipated. "The shortfall in inventories has positive implications for Q4." MS ests Q4 at -3.2%.

"We think the fourth quarter will be very weak (a contraction of between 2% and 3%) as global weakness hits U.S. exports and as firms cut back on inventories in the face of weak consumer spending."

Futures head even higher following smaller-than-expected drop in GDP, record profits from oil giant Exxon.
S&P futures vs fair value: +29.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +26.00. Exxon Mobil (XOM) posted strong profits, which were helped by special gains. Waste Management (WMI) issued upside earnings per share results of its own. CBS (CBS) also topped expectations.

The dollar and the yen fell as a wave of global interest-rate cuts sparked a rally in Asian stocks, boosting demand for higher-yielding assets.
The greenback slid for a third day against the euro after the Federal Reserve reduced its target lending rate to 1 percent and agreed to provide $30 billion each to the central banks of Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Singapore. The yen dropped to a one-week low versus the European currency on speculation the Bank of Japan will lower borrowing costs when it meets tomorrow. South Korea's won jumped the most in a decade.
``The significant easing of monetary policy will help the global growth outlook,'' said Tony Morriss, a senior currency strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group in Sydney. ``We're seeing a major correction of the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. They were among the key beneficiaries of the flight to quality that's being unwound.''
U.S. policy makers reduced the fed funds target by a half- percentage point to 1 percent yesterday, matching a level reached in June 2003 and before that during the Dwight Eisenhower administration in the late 1950s.
Gross domestic product shrank by 0.5 percent in the third quarter for its biggest decline since the 2001 recession, data due at 8:30 a.m. today in Washington will show, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists.
``The Fed is doing what it can given a weakening U.S. economy,'' said Tsutomu Soma, a bond and currency dealer at Okasan Securities Co. based in Tokyo. ``This puts the focus on the interest-rate differential, and that will force the dollar to go lower.''
The U.S. central bank has cut its benchmark rate from 5.25 percent in the past 13 months and created six lending programs channeling more than $1 trillion into the financial system to limit the severity of a looming recession.
``The easing bias in the U.S. is going to continue,'' said Paresh Upadhyaya at Putnam Investments in Boston, which manages $50 billion in currency assets. The Australian dollar rose to 67.39 U.S. cents from 66.81 cents yesterday in New York on speculation a rate cut in China, the world's largest consumer of industrial metals, will boost demand for Australia's exports.
The yen also declined as investors speculated that the Bank of Japan will cut borrowing costs tomorrow. It slumped the most since 1974 and stocks rallied after the Nikkei newspaper said Oct. 28 that policy makers are leaning toward lowering rates.
``Selling orders for the yen are piling up,'' said Mitsuru Sahara, senior currency sales manager at Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., a unit of Japan's biggest publicly traded lender. ``Stocks are looking strong, and that takes some safe- haven flows away from the yen. A possible BOJ rate cut is also a negative.''

EUR/USD from area of a session high on $1,3255 the pair has decreased in area $1,3050.

US data starts at 1230GMT with the weekly jobless claims and the advance third-quarter 2008 GDP. Jobless claims are expected to fall 3,000 to 475,000 in the October 25 week, remaining very high even the impact of recent hurricanes is removed. The advance estimate for third quarter GDP calls for a 0.5% annual rate decline, after a rebound in the second quarter. Late US data also sees the 2030GMT release of M2 money supply for the October 20 week.
