Stocks finished slightly lower after a slow trading session.
All eyes were on last night’s State of the Union address. But the speech from President Trump did little to move the markets.
The S&P was stuck in a 14 point range during the trading session, which is the 2nd smallest trading range of the year.
With today’s drop, the indices saw their 5-day win streak come to an end.
