NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2018 / U.S. markets were mixed Thursday as investors appear to be awaiting monthly jobs data due to be released on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.02 percent to close at 23,930.15, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.23 percent to close at 2,629.73. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.18 percent to close at 7,088.15.

"The primary thing missing from the market right now is something to spur us higher. There's no great catalyst, and if strong earnings reports aren't enough to do it, what would be? That's why everyone is closer to the sell button than the buy button," said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, according to MarketWatch.
