Markets: Stocks embraced the start of spooky season by falling yesterday, ending a hot streak as investors mulled the rising tensions in the Middle East.
General Motors: Reported slightly better-than-expected sales during the third quarter, thanks in part to increased sales of small crossovers and electric vehicles. The automaker reported a 2.2% decrease in sales, compared with a year earlier, an improvement over auto industry forecasts that projected a decline of more than 3% in the quarter.
Meanwhile: Nike’s beleaguered stock was up a bit ahead of its first earnings report since the company announced a CEO change.

Instead, executives said Nike will provide quarterly guidance for the rest of the year. Shares of Nike fell about 7% in early trading Wednesday.
