Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded down 0.03% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.19%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 0.59%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily loss ahead of the close Wednesday was Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) which traded lower by 1.51% at $50.45. The stock’s 52-week range is $45.45 to $53.66. Volume was about 10% below the daily average of around 13.5 million shares. The company had no specific material news today.
