Pre-Market News Buzz on: T. Rowe Price Group (NASDAQ:TROW), Gastar Exploration (NYSEMKT:GST), Silver Standard Resources (NASDAQ:SSRI), Goodyear Tire & Rubber (NASDAQ:GT)

On Thursday, T. Rowe Price Group Inc (NASDAQ:TROW)’s shares declined -1.85% to $77.28.

T.Rowe Price Group Inc (TROW)’s Retirement Saving & Spending Study revealed that a national sample of 1,505 millennials with 401(k)s have relatively good financial habits, particularly when compared with a national sample of 514 baby boomers with 401(k)s. While millennials are not saving at least 15% of their annual salary for retirement, as T. Rowe Price recommends, they recognize that saving for retirement is important and are interested in saving more.

More millennials than baby boomers track expenses carefully (75% vs. 64%) and stick to a budget (67% vs. 55%). And while baby boomers on average are saving a slightly higher percentage of their salary for retirement than millennials are saving, more millennials have raised their retirement savings within the past 12 months (40% vs. 21%). This suggests that they are acting in accordance with their financial priorities, as millennials ranked contributing to a 401(k) but below the match and paying down debt equally as their top priority.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co (NASDAQ:GT), ended its Thursday’s trading session with -0.46% loss, and closed at $30.00.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT) has reached a supply agreement with Yihai Food and Oil Industry in China for silica derived from rice husk ash. Goodyear will start using the silica this year in a consumer tire that will be manufactured in its factory in Pulandian, China, and sold in China.

Goodyear has tested silica derived from rice husk ash over the past two years at its Innovation Center in Akron and found its impact on tire performance to be equal to traditional sources.

Silica is used as a reinforcing agent in tire tread compounds. Contrast to carbon black, a traditional reinforcing agent for tires, silica reduces rolling resistance. Lower rolling resistance, in turn, improves a car’s fuel economy. It also can have a positive impact on a tire’s traction on wet surfaces.

The company offers various lines of rubber tires for automobiles, trucks, buses, aircraft, motorcycles, farm implements, earthmoving and mining equipment, industrial equipment, and various other applications under the Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly, Debica, Sava, Fulda, and various other Goodyear owned house brands, in addition to under the private-label brands.
