The main US stock indexes finished trading in different directions

The major US stock indexes finished the session without a single dynamic, as investors waited for the results of the voting on the health care bill, which is seen as testing the ability of President Donald Trump to convey his legislative agenda through Congress.

The focus was also on the US. As it became known, new orders for basic goods produced in the US unexpectedly fell in February, but a sharp increase in supply volumes against the backdrop of demand for machinery and electrical equipment. The US Department of Commerce said on Friday that orders for the purchase of non-productive capital goods, with the exception of aircraft that are closely monitored for meeting business spending plans, were down 0.1% last month after rising 0.1% in January.

Oil has risen slightly in price during today's trading, but the week ends with losses, which is caused by concern over the preservation of surplus oil in the world market.

The components of the DOW index have mostly grown (17 out of 30). More shares fell The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS, -1.45%). Leader of the growth were shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, + 1.91%).

Most sectors of the S & P index finished trading in positive territory. The leader of growth was the utilities sector (+ 0.5%). The largest drop was shown by the sector of industrial goods (-0.3%).

At closing:

Dow -0.29% 20.596.72 -59.86

Nasdaq + 0.19% 5,828.74 + 11.05

S & P -0.08% 2,343.98 -1.98
