   Lekker hoor die social media toe te laten tot de beurs als nieuwsbron
   
   A false tweet briefly sent financial markets veering on Tuesday, underscoring technology's role in tightly linking global markets and highlighting the potential pitfalls of that reliance on technology.
   The Dow Jones Industrial Average and crude-oil briefly plunged Tuesday afternoon and U.S. Treasury bonds prices soared, after a tweet from the Associated Press's Twitter account claimed that there were two explosions in the White House and that President Barack Obama had been injured.
   Markets quickly swung back after the Associated Press said on its corporate website that its account had been hacked. The White House confirmed there had been no incident.
   The Dow industrials dropped 145 points between 1:08 p.m. EDT and 1:10 p.m., following the erroneous tweet. Stocks soon recovered, regaining broad gains that put the major benchmarks on track for a third day of gains.
   Observers said the episode highlights the growing use by players in financial markets of social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and underscores the dangers of security breaches at a time when many investors are quick to trade on news.
   Keith Bliss, senior vice president with New York brokerage Cuttone & Co. on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, said he heard a slow wave of noise across the exchange floor as traders responded to the first tweet.
   "We all started looking at it to figure out what was going on, and just as quickly there was another wave of noise after the AP denied the story," Mr. Bliss said. "Just goes to show, you shouldn't have a knee-jerk reaction to anything that comes across Twitter."
   The stock move was echoed by similar gyrations in other markets, where oil momentarily lost 0.7% before recovering, and the CBOE Market Volatility Index, the "fear gauge" known as the VIX, spiked 9% before falling back to its level just a few minutes earlier, down 5% on the day.
   Trading volumes in S&P 500 e-mini contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, futures contracts tracking the S&P 500, shot up to 83,388 traded contracts at 1:09 p.m. EDT, from about 295 traded contracts just two minutes earlier. In all, some 314,000 contracts changed hands in five minutes.
   The dollar plummeted against the Japanese yen after the AP's tweet, dropping as low as 98.58 yen from Y99.27 before the tweet. It quickly recovered all losses within four minutes.
   Among precious metals, gold futures saw a brief bump of more than $5 per troy ounce but quickly fell back to its previous level, around $1,409; silver futures moved less than $1 per troy ounce and also reverted to their prior level when it became clear the report was a hoax.
   At about 1:10 p.m., yields on 10-year safe-haven Treasurys fell about 0.05 percentage points, to 1.648% from 1.703%, according to Tradeweb. But by 1:20 p.m., yields were back up to 1.694%.
   "It's a huge drop in such a short period of time, and it could only have been due to some type of huge flight to quality resulting from geopolitical concerns," said Gary Pollack, managing director at Deutsche Bank Asset & Wealth Management. "An explosion at the White House that was rumored to have occurred would certainly be a good example of something like that."
   Peter Donovan, an oil-options broker at Vantage Trading working on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange, said some traders quickly exited positions after the erroneous report of a terror attack. "That sort of stuff gets our attention, as you can imagine...but it was immediately met with skepticism," he said.
   As the false Twitter report first spread, a staffer at Los Angeles-based JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC quickly took to a companywide loudspeaker to warn colleagues: "Careful, those things can be hacked," recalls Tom Carter, a managing director at the brokerage.
   "We made sure no one made a call on it, and sure enough, look what happened," Mr. Carter said. "You've really got to be careful in those moments. It would be irresponsible to start calling clients about it."
   The momentary scare came on a day of broad gains for the market, the third-straight advance for the major U.S. large-cap benchmarks. The blue-chip Dow gained 142 points, or 1%, to 14709 and the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index added 15 points, or 1%, to 1577, as all 10 sectors of the index traded in positive territory. The Nasdaq Composite, meanwhile, advanced 34 points, or 1%, to 3267, outpacing the Dow and the S&P 500 for a third straight day.

For the period ended March 30, Apple AAPL +1.87% reported net income of $9.5 billion, or $10.09 per share, compared to net income of $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per share, for the same period last year. Revenue grew 11% to $43.6 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of $9.97 per share on revenue of $42.3 billion, according to FactSet. Apple's gross margin for the quarter was 37.5% - at the low end of the company's forecasted range from January. Apple's shares were halted in after-hours trades, as the company also announced a raised dividend and share buyback plan
