Todays DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Market Trends Today: The primary indices in the
U.S. were posting green at the mid-way point of the last trading session, but
trends were choppy. The DJI Index , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500
Indices, posted fluctuating trends throughout the last session. The ongoing debt
crisis in the eurozone is the primary catalyst for the inconsistent trends.
Economic data posting last session was also mixed . Although initial
unemployment claims dropped lower, those filing to continue claims notched
higher than expected. According to the governments data, the number of Americans
applying for first time unemployment dropped 15,000 to 358,000 for the week
ended Feb. 4. This mark was better than expected. Data for those Americans
filing to continued unemployment claims notched higher however. Approximately
3.5 million Americans filed to continue claims. Ultimately, stock indices in the
U.S. stayed green. Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market

session in the green. The DJIA finished the session higher by .05 percent at
12,890.46. The Nasdaq index finished the last session higher by .39 percent at
2,927.23 and the S&P 500 closed out the last session green by .15 percent at
