Today’s Research Reports on Trending Tickers: Starbucks and Coca-Cola

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2018 / OPEC and major oil-producer Russia were considering an increase in supply, pressuring energy stocks lower. U.S. markets however posted weekly gains on Friday, buoyed by strong performance from the technology shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.24 percent to close at 24,753.09, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.24 percent to close at 2,721.33. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 0.13 percent to close at 7,433.85. For the week, Dow and S&P gained a modest 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent respectively while Nasdaq closed with a strong gain of 1.1 percent.

“If the Saudis do lift oil production, that could be the news of the day. It may result in a weak patch for the energy sector, but for the broader market that could be offset by a rise in sentiment if it results in gas prices falling going into the summer driving season,” said John Augustine, chief investment officer at Huntington Private Bank.
