Taxing Day
Stocks finished lower, despite flirting with positive territory at the open and again at mid-day, pressured by blue chips as Citigroup (C) missed earnings estimates and fellow Dow component General Electric (GE) continues to be plagued by profit jitters.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 97 points (1.0%) to 10,094, the S&P 500 index shed 8 points (0.8%) to 1103, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 2 points (0.1%) to 1754. Airline and retail stocks led the decliners, while energy-related shares followed the price of crude higher after Venezuela's president was reinstated following a failed military coup, dashing hopes for an end to Venezuela's oil worker strike and a subsequent production increase. Volume on the Big Board was 1.1 billion shares as 1.3 billion shares changed hands on the Nasdaq.
