U.S. stocks finished the week on a subdued note, as worries over U.S. tax reform and a delay of the promises cut in corporate taxation, weighed on investors’ minds. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2% to 23,423, marking its first weekly loss in nine weeks. The S&P 500 dropped 0.1% to finish the week at 2,582 points, also breaking an eight-week winning streak with a slight dip into negative territory on the week. The Nasdaq Composite meanwhile ended the day marginally higher at 6,751 points, sliding 0.2% on the week. In individual stocks, chip maker Nvidia Corp. rose 4.9% on the back of better-than-expected earnings, while Walt Disney Co. shares were up 2.1% despite an earnings-miss, thanks to the announcement of new Star Wars projects.
