Yesterday the US stock markets all closed slightly in the red. The losses were light though and in percentage terms led by the Nasdaq 100, handing back 0.24%. The S+P 500 closed 0.20% lower and the Dow Jones 0.15%. The S+P 500 opened at 5,602.88 and peaked in early trading at 5,620.51, before falling back after the European close to a low at 5,585.50. It subsequently closed 11 points lower, at 5,597.12.
