After a day of wild trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the overall market closed lower today with the S&P 500 down 0.63%, the Nikkei 225 down 0.68%, and Crude Oil Oct 23 closing down 0.46% – this combined for a market decrease of 0.58%. The losses can be attributed to investors taking profits and to a slightly weaker-than-expected rise in US consumer confidence.
