Market Review – The last trading day of 2017 began on a high note with stocks surging. The ascent was fleeting as stocks retreated for much of the day. The selling intensified late in the day and left major benchmarks at their lows. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 both ended down 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.7%. Light trading for the holiday-shortened week left declines of 0.1% for the Dow, 0.4% for the S&P 500 and 0.8% for the Nasdaq. But the benchmarks all had solid performances for 2017, closing with price gains of 28.2% for the Nasdaq, 25.1% for the Dow and 19.4% for the S&P 500.
