MarketWatch:
"Intel was looking to gain traction after a Smith Barney upgrade to an "outperform" rating from an "in line." The chip giant was also added to the firm's "Recommended List" to take the place of National Semiconductor (NSM: news, chart, profile), which was downgraded to an "in line" from an "outperform." The brokerage also lifted Intel's price target to $23 from $20 and hoisted its 2004 earnings-per-share projection.

Smith Barney feels it's an "opportune time to take some money off the table" on National Semi because of the stock's recent outperformance of the S&P 500.

In the futures pits, the September S&P 500 contract advanced 5.40 points, or 0.6 percent, while the Nasdaq 100 contract ran up 13.00 points, or 1.1 percent.

Monday's economic calendar includes the release of the June Chicago Purchasing Managers Index. The regional manufacturing report will be closely monitored ahead of Tuesday's Institute of Supply Management index, which will give investors a glimpse of the performance of the national factory sector.

The week's economic news will culminate with Thursday's June employment report, which will be released a day early because of the Independence Day holiday."

14:00 30Jun2003 RTRS-NAPM-NY BUSINESS INDEX FALLS TO RECORD LOW OF 226.7 IN JUNE FROM 230.2 IN MAY
14:00 30Jun2003 RTRS-NAPM New York City business index lowest on record

NEW YORK, June 30 (Reuters) - Business conditions in New York City deteriorated in June to their worst level in 10 years as the Big Apple was plagued by job losses in banking, technology and apparel manufacturing. Even while the stock market gained some momentum, the National Association of Purchasing Managers-New York's monthly index of business activity, first released in 1993, slipped to 226.7. That was its lowest level on record and compared with a reading of 230.2 in May. "The Big Apple meandered into summer with several of its principal industries still sputtering," the research group said in its report.
Not all manufacturers suffered, however. Food-related production and local niche stores thrived, lifting NAPM-NY's manufacturing gauge to 92.8 from 78.8.
Services activity in the five boroughs, which represents around 90 percent of the local economy, improved slightly, with its index climbing to 37.5 in June from 33.8 in May.
In a potential sign of hope for the future, the group's outlook index edged higher to 62.5 from 61.1.
