Stocks Regain Some Ground as Investors Remain Cautious
Stocks recovered some ground from session lows as investors remain cautious in a pivotal week for markets, with a tightly contested election taking center stage.
The Dow was down 0.5%, while the S&P 500 slid 0.1%. But the tech-heavy Nasdaq turned briefly positive and was hovering around the flat line. All three indexes hit the lowest point for the day so far around noon.
Stocks could also have reacted to a report by The Wall Street Journal that said officials suspect Russia of sending two incendiary devices ultimately aimed at starting fires aboard cargo or passenger aircraft flying to the U.S. and Canada.
