June 11, 2015: Markets opened higher on Thursday but the day’s events slowly narrowed the gain. The dollar traded higher today, putting pressure on commodities including energy shares. Pessimism over negotiations between Greece and the European Union also contributed to the gradual descent from early morning highs. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded up 0.24% for the day, the S&P 500 traded up 0.19%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded up 0.11%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage gain ahead of the close Thursday was UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) which traded up 1.09% at $119.34. The stock’s 52-week range is $77.53 to $123.76. About 2.7million shares traded hands today, a little more than two-thirds the daily average. The company had no specific news today.

The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) traded up 1.00% at $143.03. The stock’s 52-week range is $116.32 to $158.83. Trading volume totaled about 2 million shares, well below the daily average of more than 3.7 million. The company has a tentative order valued at $4 billion from Delta Air Lines.

The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV) traded up 0.95% at $100.12. The stock’s 52-week range is $88.81 to $110.49. Trading volume topped 1.3 million shares, below the daily average of around 2 million. The company had no specific news today.
