Wall Street finished lower in a roller coaster session on Thursday as the broader market averages observed selling pressure after jobless claims fell and GDP was revised higher in the third estimate. Across sectors, nine of the 11 S&P groups concluded in negative trading territory, with Healthcare suffering the most. At the other end, Energy was the strongest-performing segment on the session as oil climbed. “Real GDP numbers were good, jobless claims were decent, and we didn’t see any major bad news in other areas. To me, stock weakness is just the result of some profit-taking,” Seeking Alpha analyst Leo Nelissen stated.
