Broader indices close lower. Dow marginally higher.

The broader US indices are closing lower on the day. The Dow 30 did close marginally higher.

• Dow industrial average rose 35.16 points or 0.08% at 42206.82.
• S&P index fell -13.033 points or -0.22% at 5967.84
• NASDAQ index fell -98.86 points or -0.51% at 19447.41

For the trading week indices were little changed:

• Dow industrial average closed up 0.02%
• S&P index fell -0.15%
• NASDAQ index rose 0.21%

With all the uncertainty, the stock market seems to be ironically losing some of its volatility. Last week the major indices were little changed and that trend continued this week.
