May 11, 2015: Markets opened lower on Monday and only the Nasdaq Composite was able to spend any serious time above the break-even line during the day. Yields on 10-year Treasuries rose to 2.27% and crude oil prices dropped slightly on of those days when traders had to fight to stay awake. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded down 0.43% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.57%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 0.10%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Monday was General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) which traded lower by 1.64% at $26.91. The stock’s 52-week range is $23.41 to $28.68. Trading volume was about 40% below the daily average of around 44.7 million shares. The industrial giant is facing some headwinds in the EU to its acquisition of Alstom.

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) traded down 1.61%% at $86.84. The stock’s 52-week range is $82.68 to $104.76. Trading volume was about 40% below the daily average of around 13 million shares. The company’s stock is probably reacting to the drop in the price of crude today.

The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV) traded down 1.27% at $102.42. The stock’s 52-week range is $88.81 to $110.49 Trading volume was about double the daily average of around 2 million shares. The company had no specific news today.

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) traded down 1.23% at $108.76. The stock’s 52-week range is $78.54 to $113.30. Trading volume was about 20% below the daily average of around 6 million shares. The company had no specific news today, except that “Avengers: Age of Ultron” did not meet box office sales expectations over the weekend.

Of the Dow 30 stocks 22 are set to close lower today and 8 are on track to close higher.
