Markets Watch Dow and S&P Reach Critical 2015 Benchmarks
In late 2015 investors eye Dow at 17,823.07 and S&P at 2,058.90 as the hurdles for a positive year. Through a volatile week, the Dow hovered around a 0.5 percent yearly loss and the S&P about 0.9 percent up, while the Nasdaq remained up about 7.7 percent. If the Dow cannot exceed 17,823 and the S&P 2,059 in the next three weeks, 2015 could post its worst annual performance in four years.
