Good Morning,
On the eighth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the Dow ended down 22 points or 0.23%, while the S&P 500 closed 0.14% lower and the Nasdaq slid 0.15%.
Stocks slipped on Wall Street, snapping a five-day winning streak and pulling the major gauges down from their previous 2009 highs. Falling oil prices put the pinch on the big energy stocks, while commodities stocks and their underlying products were also weaker as investors looked to book some profits.
Some analysts are saying "The market continues to look pretty good. There's a lot of positives as we go into this week after an upbeat consumer [sentiment] survey and an upbeat outlook from FedEx [on Friday]. But surprises are still likely to be on the upside and on a day-to-day basis, we're getting more positives than negatives. That's a radical change after having had the world economy on the edge of collapse."
LONDON - Europe's main stock markets rose on Friday after US indices struck the highest levels this year on Thursday on growing optimism about the economic future.

FRANKFURT - The DAX added 29.25 points, or 0.52 per cent, to finish at 5,624.02.
PARIS - The CAC 40 index rose 29.02 points, or 0.78 per cent, to end the week at 3,734.89, its highest reading this year.
