Markets Lower, Closing News 5/14/12

Markets ended the day down for the 8th time in 9 session on continued worries over Greece potentially exiting the euro zone after discussions to form a coalition government failed over the weekend.  The fallout from JPMorgan Chase’s investment losses continued to cause a drag on the DJIA and markets in general.


Adding to the market woes, investors remained unconvinced by the Chinese central bank's move on Saturday to bolster lending to counter signs of an economic slowdown. 


Oil was down for a third session while Gold erased its gains for the year, settling at $1,560.60 an ounce.
