DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market News: Investors were hoping to see the
positive stock market trends continue during the opening session in the U.S. So
far this year, the DJIA , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 are positive.
All three indices climbed higher over the course of last week as well. The
positive index movement did not continue during the opening trading session this
week however. All three indices were posting red as of the halfway point in the
session today and were not able to fully recover. No major economic news was
scheduled for the opening session in the U.S. today and thus investors thoughts
were focused more on the eurozone debt crisis. Jitters relating to the debt
crisis, and the Greek debt talks that transpired during the last session, added
weight and pushed index trend-lines lower. Ultimately, the primary indices in
the U.S. finished off the session mixed. The DJIA and Nasdaq were negative and
the S&P 500 finished the day on he positive side of break-even. DJIA, Nasdaq,
S&P 500 Index Close: The Dow Jones finished the last trading session red by .09
percent at 12,708.82. The Nasdaq finished the last session lower by .09 percent
at 2,784.17. The S&P 500 finished the last session green by .05 percent at
1,316. Earnings data: Halliburton released quarterly results which were better
than most analysts were anticipating. The company reported revenue of $7.1
billion during the fourth quarter. Halliburtin Co (HAL) closed the last session
red by 2.10 percent on the day and posted last trade at 35.44. Frank Matto
