Wall Street indices launched today's trading slightly lower, following a downbeat trading in Europe earlier today. However, scale of the move on Wall Street is much smaller than in Europe as declines on the Old Continent are driven by region-specific factors - political uncertainty caused by results of European Parliament elections and, especially, snap parliamentary elections called in France. S&P 500 launched today's trading 0.2% lower, Nasdaq dropped 0.3% at session launch, Dow Jones declined 0.1% and small-cap Russell 2000 plunged over 1%.
