In a sharp turn from an optimistic start to June, Wall Street's disappointment with jobs data took its toll, sending stocks mostly lower to close out the day, snapping a four-day win streak for the Nasdaq and for the S&P 500. The Dow barely scraped together an 11-point gain, while the SPX and Nasdaq dropped off, as shares from FAANG stocks Facebook (FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Netflix (NFLX) weighed heavy.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,112.35) shed 10.5 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 9,615.81) lost  67.1 points, or 0.7%.

Gold Logs First Gain in 4 Sessions

Oil prices changed little today, as investors continued to wait on a decision to be made regarding crude production from The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and others (OPEC+). As a result, July-dated oil gained 12 cents, or 0.3%, to settle at $37.41 per barrel.

Gold, on the other hand, reversed course today and rose as the dollar retreated and Wall Street paused its rally amid dismal U.S. trade deficit data and focused on the European Central Bank (ECB). Gold for August delivery rose $22.60, or 1.3%, to settle at $1,727.40 per ounce, snapping a four-day losing streak.
