US equity close: Late selling leads to a mixed day | Forexlive
SPX intraday
US equities gave up gains in the final 15 minutes of trading to finish narrowly negative. That caps a losing month for US exchanges but it wasn’t as bad as it was midway through August. Yields fell this week and that sparked a turnaround in tech.
As for today, the finish was largely static:
- S&P 500 -0.2%
- DJIA -0.5%
- Nasdaq Comp +0.1%
- Russell 2000 -0.1%
- Toronto TSX Comp -0.1%
Tomorrow is non-farm payrolls and that’s sure to re-write the script. Read here on why there’s a downside bias in the August report.
