The main US stock indices fell on the results of today's trading

Major US stock indexes finished today's trading in the red, departing from record figures, which was due to a decline in almost all sectors.

The job market support (JOLTS), published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, provided some support for the market. As it became known, in June the number of vacancies increased to 6.163 million, reaching a record high. The indicator for May was revised upwards to 5.702 million from 5.666 million. Analysts had expected that the number of vacancies would grow only to 5.74 million. The vacancy rate was 4% compared to 3.8% in May. The number of vacancies increased significantly in the private sector (+417 000), and slightly increased in the government segment (+44 000).

Oil prices fell, despite reports of lower volumes of oil supplies from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company Aramco will cut oil supplies to its customers around the world by at least 520,000 barrels a day in September, Reuters sources said.

Most components of the DOW index recorded a decline (21 out of 30). Leader of growth were shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL, + 0.78%). Outsider were shares of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM, -0.96%).

Almost all sectors of the S & P index fell. The largest drop was shown by the sector of basic materials (-0.6%). The conglomerate sector grew most (+ 0.5%).

At closing:

DJIA -0.15% 22,086.15 -32.27

Nasdaq -0.21% 6,370.46 -13.31

S & P -0.24% 2,474.92 -5.99
