September 22, 2015: Markets opened lower on Tuesday following a down day in Europe which was mostly due to weakness in London’s basic materials sector and Germany’s auto sector. U.S. WTI settled at $45.83 a barrel, down 1.8% and gold settled at $1,124.80, down 0.7% on the day. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded down 1.06% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 1.19%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 1.47%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Tuesday was United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) which traded lower by 3.62% at $88.24. The stock’s 52-week range is $87.17 to $124.45. Trading volume was about 10% above the daily average of around 5.5 million. The company had no specific news today.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
