Midday Movers: BLUE, MW, TTEK & More

Posted By:

Take a look at some of Wednesday's midday movers:

bluebird bio – The biotech IPO surged more than 50 percent above its $17 offering price. The company works on gene therapy for "sever genetic and orphan diseases."

Men's Warehouse – Founder and Executive Chairman George Zimmer was terminated by the company's board of directors. Men's Warehouse was scheduled to hold its shareholder meeting Wednesday, but the event has been delayed so the company can put together a new slate of directors. Men's Warehouse has not commented on the reason for its move, while Zimmer said in a statement that "the Board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns (about the direction of the company) through termination as an executive officer."

Even Fed May Not Be Able to Tame Volatile Trading

Posted By:

Whatever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says Wednesday afternoon threatens to rock some part of the financial markets.

"That's how I see it. Tomorrow is dangerous," said Art Cashin, director of NYSE floor operations at UBS.

Financial markets always watch the Fed, and they always hang on every word of Fed policy. But the Fed's post-meeting statement or comments from the Fed chairman Wednesday will either give credence to or conflict with a recent fundamental shift in market perception – and that is that there will be a slow creep to higher rates as the Fed slows and then ultimately ends its bond purchase program.

Last week D.A. Davidson Analyst Tim Ramey, who calls Herbalife his "single best idea," issued a report saying that "the bear case is in tatters."

With Herbalife's stock price up nearly 40 percent since mid-April and almost double from its lows of December, he was suggesting the bears are wrong in their claim that Herbalife operates a pyramid scheme. (Never mind that it is still well below its 2012 highs.)

Fed Meets as Faith in Its Bond Program Wanes

Posted By:

There's a wide divide on Wall Street over whether further bond purchases by the Federal Reserve can help lower interest rates, which have been rising since early May.

Economists, analysts and fund managers, who participated in the latest CNBC Fed survey, were almost evenly split on the question. Of the 60 respondents, 45.8 percent said further bond purchases could help lower yields, while 44 percent said they do not believe it would. Another 10.2 percent said they were unsure. More results of the survey will be reported Tuesday by CNBC Senior Economic Correspondent Steve Liesman, starting at 7 a.m. ET on CNBC's "Squawk Box."

The answer to the question on yields suggests that Wall Street is losing faith in the ability of the Fed's quantitative easing program to suppress rates. In April, 54 percent who answered the CNBC Fed survey said they thought QE could lower bond yields, while 35 percent did not.

When Doves Cry: Can Bernanke Calm 'Taper' Tantrum?

Posted By:

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke

The market chatter over the weekend was all about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. More specifically, sentiment centers around one question: will Bernanke try to calm the markets by pushing a more dovish position on bond-buying?

Why? Most feel that Bernanke is likely pleased with the 60 basis point or so rise in 10-year interest rates in the last six weeks: just enough to take some air out of Treasury price deflation, not enough to have everyone scream that the economy is slowing, or that 4 percent mortgage rates will crush the housing recovery.
