dow2664 Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Overview Today: Futures for the primary index composites in the U.S. began the last day in the red and composite trends remained negative through the course of the week’s final trading session. The DJIA, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 indices, finished the day on the negative side of break-even. Negative influence also stemmed from primary indicators in the eurozone. Eurozone indicator close Review Last Session: Red was the hue of the day across the board for primary indicators in the eurozone. The CAC 40 in France finished the session lower overall by 1.51 percent. The DAX in Germany closed lower by 1.41 percent and the FTSE 100 in the UK closed red by .73 percent last session. This negative action spilled over in the U.S. session and pressured indices lower. U.S. Stock Market News Today: U.S. stock market trends continued to feel the negative pressure stemming from the ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone. Greece has still not finalized a deal which would secure a 130 billion-euro bailout package. The debt deadline for Greece is only weeks away and each day that passes without a secured bailout package only increases global market anxieties. Home based economic news in the U.S. added pressure as well. According to the Commerce Department in the U.S., the international trade deficit notched higher to $48.8 million. In addition to this negatively skewed report, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment report posted lower at 72.5 from 75 in January. This mark was weaker than what most economists had been anticipating. Final Close Marks for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 Indices: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the last session of the week lower by .69 percent, negative 89.23, at 12,801.23. The Nasdaq finished the last session lower by .80 percent, negative 23.35, at 2,903.88. The S&P 500 finished red by .69 percent, negative 9.31, 1,342.64. Although stock market trends in the U.S. have been generally higher over the course of 2012 so far, all three indices closed the last session red. The negative close was representative of the week overall. All three indices moved slightly lower over the course of the week as a whole. Frank Matto
