Major U.S. stock-indexes little changed on Tuesday, as gains in financial stocks failed to make up for losses in energy stocks following a drop in oil prices. Brent crude prices fell 2,5%, the first decline in five days, after data showed an increase in output from major producers, just days after OPEC and Russia agreed to a production cut.
Most of Dow stocks in negative area (18 of 30). Top gainer - Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, +1.54%). Top loser - NIKE, Inc. (NKE, -2.75%).
Most S&P sectors also in positive area. Top gainer - Financials (+0.5%). Top loser - Basic Materials (-0.2%).
