Dow Jones03-20 04:05
1605 ET - U.S. stock averages end lower, but well above their worst levels of the session, after President Trump says he wouldn't "put troops anywhere" when asked about moving forces toward Iran. U.S. WTI oil edges higher after sinking earlier in the day as the latest round of attacks on energy facilities fed fears of a wider energy crisis. Materials are the weakest sector as precious metals continue to decline, while energy stocks rise the most. DJIA falls 203 points, or 0.4%, to 46021, the S&P 500 loses 0.3% to 6606 and the Nasdaq slips 0.3% to 22090. (patrick.sullivan@wsj.com)
