Dow in the Red for ‘15 as Jeb Bush Announces Presidential Bid
Jeb Bush is officially throwing his hat into the presidential candidacy ring, joining the 10 other GOP candidates who have already announced their intent on running. In his speech in Miami this afternoon, Bush outlined his goals as president, which range from GDP growth to job growth. But, will he be able to outshine the shadow of his father and brother?
As Bush announced his candidacy in the final hour of trading, U.S. stocks ended the session on a down note as all the major indices closed lower, pushing the Dow back into negative territory for the year. This is all in reaction to whether Greece will be able to repay the 1.6 billion euros it owes on June 30th to the International Monetary Fund which may determine whether the country will be able to stay in the Eurozone.
