The market is down Thursday over concerns on China’s GDP growth, which could not be offset by a drop in jobless benefit applications. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.77%, the NASDAQ is down 1.60% and the S&P 500 is down 1.07%. Today’s lone winner was a pharmaceutical company which entered into an agreement to provide a new drug, while weak earnings reports beat up today’s two losers.
Here are today’s market winners and losers.
