May 4 Market Close: GovCon Index Up, Markets Mixed as House Votes to Overturn Obamacare


The Executive Mosaic GovCon Index closed up 0.470 percent to 92.817 as advancers outpaced decliners 4 to 1. CACI lead the way with an almost 10 percent share value increase as their reported first quarter earnings beat analysts expectations.

Major markets closed mixed with little change as the House of Representatives voted to overturn the Affordable Healthcare Act, positively impacting healthcare stocks.

WTI dropped to its lowest point since November to close down $2.41 to $45.41 per barrel as U.S. crude production increases with shale drilling.
