June 22, 2017: The S&P 500 closed relatively flat at 2,434.66. The DJIA closed flat as well at 21,398.04. Separately, the Nasdaq closed flat at 6,236.69.
Thursday was a relatively flat day for the markets. The only outstanding sector in the S&P 500 was healthcare which was positive across the board. This was the result of Republicans releasing their new healthcare bill in the Senate. Crude oil actually managed a positive day this week and oil & gas stocks responded in kind, but a few were still holding back the group. The rest of the index was more or less flat.
