STOCKS are closing lower on Wall Street after US retailers issued weak forecasts for earnings and claims rose for unemployment benefits.
Wal-Mart, Ross Stores and Limited Brands, the owner of Victoria's Secret, fell yesterday after issuing forecasts that disappointed analysts.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell two points to 1,353 and the Nasdaq fell 10 to 2,837.
