September 14, 2015: Markets opened marginally higher on Monday but that did not last long. The tech sector got a little boost from Apple which reported new iPhone pre-orders were higher on their first weekend. Weaker production numbers and fixed asset investments weighed on the Shanghai exchange, and the report also dragged down the Nikkei. Crude oil settled at $44 a barrel, down 1.4% and gold settled higher, up 0.4% for the day. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded down 0.51% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.55%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 0.46%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Monday was Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) which traded down 1.25% at $69.88. The stock’s 52-week range is $48.80 to $76.92.
