The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 17,890.36 on Thursday, down 75.71 from its open.

The NASDAQ also closed down by 10.22 to finish the day at 5,112.19, while the S&P 500 lost 6.27 to finish the session at a close of 2,102.31.

Healthcare stocks rose sharply on Thursday after the Supreme Court upheld the Afford Care Act’s insurance subsidies.

The Commerce Department said on Thursday that consumer spending rose almost a percent in May, the largest gain since August of 2009.
