NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 13, 2017 / Major Indexes pulled back on Thursday as investors digested earnings from JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.14 percent to close at 22,841.01, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.17 percent to close at 2,550.93. The Nasdaq Composite Index decreased 0.18 percent to close at 6,591.51. On Thursday, earnings from Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase signaled the start of earnings season.

"Basic fundamentals are good, companies are making money, and I think the market will be relatively strong throughout earnings season, but I don't see a huge spike up between now and the end of the year because a lot [of earnings optimism] has been priced in," said Gary Droz, managing director at MainLine Private Wealth.
