The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 0.37%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were down 0.48% and down 0.82% respectively.

Other key markets ended lower. European stocks closed as follows: the FTSE100 (+1.50%), the Dax 30 (+0.41%), CAC 40 (+0.32%) and the STOXX (+0.47%). In Asia, the Hang Seng and Shanghai indices closed mixed. The key Asian indices ended yesterday as follows: Nikkei 225(+0.86%), HSI (+2.48%) and the Shanghai Composite (+1.28%).
