Dow closes lower for the fourth day in a row

The Dow industrial average could not sustain gains into the close and is closing fractionally lower on the day. Nevertheless it still is a down day. That increases the losing streak for the Dow industrial average to four consecutive days.

The good news is that the S&P and the NASDAQ both closed higher snapping their three day decline.

The final numbers are showing:

  • Dow industrial average -0.55 points or -0.00% at 34377.82
  • S&P index +13.15 points or 0.3% at 4363.79
  • NASDAQ index +105.71 points or 0.73% at 14571.64
