Wall Street Steadies Ahead Of Holiday Break

The shortened trading session saw little change on Wall Street, as investors pored over today's lower-than-expected ISM manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) data. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq each logged a marginal win. Markets are closed tomorrow in observance of Independence Day.

OIL SEES VOLATILE DAY AFTER OVERSEAS UPDATES

Oil futures were lower at last glance, but mostly higher for much of the day. This was following Saudi Arabia's announcement that it will extend its production cut through August, while Russia said it will cut exports this month. At last check, August-dated crude was down 41 cents, or 0.6%, at $70.22 per barrel.*

Gold prices followed up a lackluster month with a mixed session, last seen trading flat. August-dated gold is at breakeven, or $1,929, at last check.*

* These prices are approximate and taken at 1 P.M. EST, due to the early market close.
