The Closing Bell: US Stock Indexes Finish Lower In Afternoon Trading

TedTed
edited December 2017 in The Bullpen
FYI: Stock indexes finished lower in afternoon trading on Wall Street after bouncing around for much of the day. Health care companies fell the most. Small-company stocks, which stand to benefit most from lower corporate tax rates, rose after Congress passed the Republican-sponsored tax bill. FedEx jumped after raising its annual profit forecast and saying the tax legislation would send its profits higher.
Regards,
Ted
