Stocks close mildly lower amid budget-deal hopes

However, the indexes erased the bulk of steep losses after word the House would convene Sunday night to reach a deal to break the budget impasse before the end of the year. After a 150-point fall, the Dow closed at 13,096.31, down 18.28 points, or 0.1%.


The RBR Radio Index was down .180, or 0%, to 421.932.

The TVBR Television Index was down 5.217, or 1.7%, to 308.064.
