US equities finish near flat after a ride

The closing changes look small but it was certainly a lively day in North American equity markets. It looked bleak in the pre-market yesterday after Nvidia earnings but the market later shook it off and opened slightly higher. That was followed by some strong buying that ultimately flopped as heavy afternoon sellers hit and ultimately left the Nasdaq slightly lower.

Closing changes:

• S&P 500 flat
• Nasdaq Comp -0.2%
• Russelll 2000 +0.7%
• DJIA +0.6%
• Toronto TSX Comp +0.5%
