(Reuters) – The S&P 500 and Dow indexes dipped at the open on Thursday as weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week, but that was likely due to the expiration of a $600 weekly jobless supplement that discouraged some from filing claims.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average <.DJI> fell 54.33 points, or 0.19%, at the open to 27,922.51 and the S&P 500 <.SPX> opened lower by 7.40 points, or 0.22%, at 3,372.95.
The Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> gained 14.62 points, or 0.13%, to 11,026.86 at the opening bell.
