Analyst Update: Better-than-Expected Results
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
U.S. stocks closed effectively flat in a relatively quiet trading session on Wednesday, February 11, as investors fixed their eyes on the developments of an emergency meeting of the eurozone countries to discuss Greece's finances. S&P 500 closed flat at 2,068.53, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower 0.04% to 17,862.14 and Nasdaq Composite moved up 0.3% to close at 4,801.18. The European markets closed lower as investors awaited the outcome of the crucial meeting over financial aid to Greece, part of the several meetings scheduled over the coming days to decide the future of financial aid to Greece. The Asian markets ended mostly higher following a firm finish of global stocks on the preceding day, as well as driven by hopes for a deal between Greece and its international creditors.
