Equities began the session on a positive note after the weekly initial claims were reported at their lowest level since January 2008. However, the number may not be entirely comparable to the prior period as one large state was not included in the total. The early bullish sentiment failed to hold as the major averages reversed during the first hour, and headed for the flat line. As a result, the S&P 500 ended flat.
