(CNBC) U.S. stocks fell on Thursday after a key vote in the House regarding a Republican-led health care bill was delayed.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 5 points, with UnitedHealth contributing the most losses. The 30-stock index had traded about 96 points higher earlier in the session. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1 percent, having traded 0.45 percent higher earlier, as health care and energy led decliners.
The Nasdaq composite fell around 0.1 percent after rising 0.36 percent at session highs.
“This is almost like a Fed meeting; nobody wants to do anything,” said Tom Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt.
