Lower volume marked the beginning of the summer, as the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closed up. Gold and silver were up, while oil, on news that the Nigerian oil workers' strike was over and a new president sworn in, fell more than -$2. While last week's reports showed that both new and existing home inventories are up, year-over-year prices dropped almost -1.5% from Q1 2006 according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Consumers, meanwhile, continue to remain confident, with the Consumer Confidence Index for May coming in a better-than-expected 108.0.

The news continued to be dominated by discussion of M&A activity. Alcan (NYSE: AL) and Alcoa (NYSE: AA) are at the center of a maelstrom of speculation following the latter's failed attempt to purchase the former. Some analysts are now predicting that Alcan will reverse the tables and try to make a bid for Alcoa. Theories are being tossed around as to whether there are other potential buyers for either company, as demonstrated by the fact that Alcoa options for July have risen.
The FTC opened an investigation today, examining the proposed Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) acquisition of DoubleClick. The deal, which is worth approximately $3.1 billion, was originally criticized by competitors Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) and Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO), but both companies have since made moves that mimic Google's purchase. Representatives from Google have stated that they expect the deal to fly through the regulatory phase and be approved by year's end.
Apartment REIT Archstone Smith (NYSE: ASN) has agreed to be acquired by Tishman Speyer and Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) in a deal estimated at $22.2 billion. The buyers have agreed to acquire Archstone for $60.75 per share in cash, a premium of 22.7% on May 24th, before news of the deal broke.
Avaya (NYSE: AV - News) is reportedly beginning the process of putting itself on the market and speaking with potential suitors. So far, the company is speaking both with Silver Lake Partners, a private equity firm, and Nortel Networks (NYSE: NT - News), a technology company. The company seems to be a promising target for a buyout based on its lack of debt and high level of cash flow. The stock finished up 15.3%.
Barclay's (NYSE: BCS ) may have some competition in its purchase of ABN Amro (NYSE: ABN). The Royal Bank of Scotland is reportedly making a move to purchase the smaller investment bank, offering more than Barclay's. While ABN Amro does not seem interested in pursuing the RBS deal, the would-be suitor is threatening to bring the deal straight to the shareholders if it feels that management does not give it enough attention.
VeriSign (Nasdaq: VRSN) announced today that Stratton Sclavos has resigned as CEO of the company, but no reason was given for the move. William Roper, Jr., a former independent director, has been named as CEO and president. VeriSign has also postponed an analyst call that was scheduled for June 6th.

Wall Street eked out a modest gain Tuesday as investors, wary about the upcoming release of the Federal Reserve minutes, bought cautiously amid a series of new takeover deals and upbeat consumer confidence figures.
Stocks drew support from news that a consortium of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland PLC said it will bid 71.1 billion euros, or $95.5 billion, for the Netherlands' ABN Amro, besting an offer from Barclays PLC. Other takeover news included an announcement that Tishman Speyer Properties and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. are buying Archstone-Smith Trust for at least $13.5 billion.
But trading was erratic with the minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting scheduled to be released Wednesday. The minutes could provide some insight into future interest rate moves. Wall Street also digested strong consumer confidence data, and a report on housing prices. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 14.06, or 0.10 percent, to 13,521.34.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 2.38, or 0.16 percent, to 1,518.11, while the Nasdaq composite index gained 14.87, or 0.58 percent, to 2,572.06.

Wall Street backtracked Tuesday to trade mixed, after excitement waned over new takeover deals and resilient consumer confidence and investors decided to play it safe ahead of upcoming data.
A sharp decline in oil prices also dampened energy company stocks and weighed on the Dow Jones industrial average, which had risen more than 50 points early in the day and later turned lower.
Initially, stocks rose after a consortium of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland PLC said it will bid 71.1 billion euros, or $95.5 billion, for the Netherlands' ABN Amro, besting an offer from Barclays PLC. Other takeover news included an announcement that Tishman Speyer Properties and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. are buying Archstone-Smith Trust for at least $13.5 billion.
But with the minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting scheduled to be released Wednesday, a report that could provide some insight into future interest rate moves, investors pulled back. Wall Street also digested strong consumer confidence data, and a report on housing prices. By midafternoon trading, the Dow slipped 18.37, or 0.14 percent, to 13,488.91. The blue-chip index has fallen for the fifth time in six sessions.
Broader stock indicators were mixed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 0.76, or 0.05 percent, to 1,514.97, while the Nasdaq composite index added 7.32, or 0.29 percent, to 2,564.51.
Bonds fell after the consumer confidence data, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rising to 4.88 percent from 4.86 percent late Friday. Yields have remained higher in recent sessions as fixed-income investors bet the Fed won't lower rates in the near future. On Tuesday, the consumer appeared strong; the Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 108.0 in May, up from a revised 106.3 in April and above the average analyst estimate. Also, the Dallas and Chicago Federal Reserves both reported expansions in regional manufacturing activity.
But the housing sector looked weak after the Standard & Poor's housing index indicated that U.S. home prices declined 1.4 percent in the first quarter compared to a year ago, the first time since 1991 that prices posted a quarterly drop. U.S. retail gasoline prices have eased slightly from their record high of $3.227 a gallon, on average, but remained high Tuesday at $3.201, according to AAA. Crude oil futures plunged $2.05 to $63.15 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In response, Exxon Mobil Corp., one of the 30 Dow components, fell $1.33, or 1.6 percent, to $82.18.
After it was reported that Archstone was being bought, the stock rose $5.60, or 10 percent, to $60.83.
In other takeover news, The Wall Street Journal said technology retailer CDW Corp. and telecommunications equipment company Avaya Inc. are private equity takeover targets. Avaya rose $1.99, or 14.5 percent, to $15.66, and CDW rose $7.17, or 9.5 percent, to $82.73.
And late Monday, engineering and construction company URS Corp. said it will buy competitor Washington Group International for $2.6 billion. Washington Group rose $11.93, or 17 percent, to $81.90, and URS rose $2.41, or 5.1 percent, to $49.30.
The technology sector, which has been weaker than the rest of the stock market in recent months, got a boost Tuesday after Vodafone Group PLC said it narrowed its full-year loss. U.S. shares of the world's biggest mobile phone company rose $1.10, or 3.7 percent, to $31.66.
Bookseller Borders Group Inc. is scheduled to release first-quarter results Tuesday after the markets close. Borders fell 15 cents to $23.26.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.11 billion shares.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies was up 5.30, or 0.64 percent, at 835.23.
The dollar slipped against other major currencies, and gold prices climbed.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.48 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.55 percent, Germany's DAX index was up 0.54 percent, and France's CAC-40 was down 0.25 percent.

Stocks opened modestly higher Tuesday after the long holiday weekend on new takeover talk and ahead of data on consumer confidence.
The first day of the week frequently brings big acquisition offers, and this shortened week was no exception: on Tuesday, a consortium of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland PLC said it will bid 71.1 billion euros, or $95.5 billion, for the Netherlands' ABN Amro, besting an offer from Barclays PLC.
The announcement came amid Wall Street Journal reports that Tishman Speyer Properties and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may soon buy Archstone-Smith Trust for more than $12 billion and assume more than $6 billion in debt, and that technology retailer CDW Corp. and telecommunications equipment company Avaya Inc. are private equity takeover targets.
This week will be heavy on economic reports, which should give investors a better idea of whether growth is strong enough to fuel companies' U.S.-based businesses, or if it's so robust that it could prevent the Fed from lowering interest rates later in the year.
The market is expecting the Conference Board to report its May index of consumer confidence came in at 105.0, a slight improvement on the April's reading of 104.0.
In the first minutes of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 32.51, or 0.24 percent, at 13,539.79.
