The S&P 500 Index inched down 0.03% to close at 1,460.93. Six out of ten sectors within the index rose. The top-gainers were industrials and basic materials.

Among basic materials producers, Bemis Company and Cliffs Natural Resources added 0.76% and 1.35%. Meanwhile, Avon Products was the best-performer, gaining 7.21%. The company announced that its CEO will step down by the end of the year. The CEO failed to turn around the firm.
