Analyst Update: Dividends, Quarterly Results, and Company Updates
Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®
The U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday as investors fled to safe-haven assets amid a worsening standoff between the Greece's new government and its creditors. Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras refused to accept any extension of the country's international bailout and also announced plans to cancel some of the reforms imposed by the lenders, raising fears of a fresh crisis in the euro zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session lower by 0.53% at 17,729.21, the S&P 500 declined 0.42% to close at 2,046.74, and the Nasdaq Composite finished lower by 0.39% at 4,726.01. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 index fell for the first time in six days amid uncertainty looming over Greece's debt negotiations. Meanwhile, Asian markets ended mostly lower on Monday as worries over Greece were compounded by disappointing Chinese trade data. A latest data showed that Chinese exports unexpectedly fell 3.3% in January, compared with the year ago period, while imports dropped 19.9%.
