Last Close for DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 Stock Market Indices U.S.A.:
Consistency diminished for the primary stock indices in the U.S. during this
last week of trading. 2012 is off to a relatively good start, but some mixed
economic data posting during the latter half of the week caused uncertainty to
grow in the psyche of American and global investors. The DJIA , as well as the
Nasdaq and the S&P 500, were pressured as a result. As of last session close,
the primary indices in the U.S. finished mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
finished the last trading session of the week lower by .58 percent, negative
74.17, to close the day at 12,660.46. The S&P 500 finished the last trading
session lower by .16 percent, negative by 2.10, to close out at 1,316.33. The
Nasdaq finished the last trading session higher by .40 percent, plus 11.27, and
closed out at 2,86.55. The ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone continues to
plague the market indices and pull them lower. Adding weight to the index
trend-lines was the weaker-than-expected economic growth report which posted as
the trading week closed out in the U.S. Trend-lines for the primary index
composites finished the week overall mixed as well. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq
were able to hold green for the week, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended
the week lower. Investors will turn attention this week to a batch of U.S.
economic reports as well as the noteworthy earnings data scheduled to post.
