Dow Jones Industrial Average, Investors were hoping to see the positive stock market trends continue during the opening session in the U.S. So far this year, the DJIA, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 are positive.

All three indices climbed higher over the course of last week as well. The positive index movement did not continue during the opening trading session this week however. All three indices were posting red as of the halfway point in the session today and were not able to fully recover.

No major economic news was scheduled for the opening session in the U.S. today and thus investors’ thoughts were focused more on the eurozone debt crisis. Jitters relating to the debt crisis, and the Greek debt talks that transpired during the last session, added weight and pushed index trend-lines lower. Ultimately, the primary indices in the U.S. finished off the session mixed. The DJIA and Nasdaq were negative and the S&P 500 finished the day on he positive side of break-even.
