03:32 PM EDT, 07/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US benchmark equity indexes are on track to close lower on Friday as the US Treasury reported a $27.01 billion budget surplus in June.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.6% at 44,392.04, while the Nasdaq Composite decreased 0.1% to 20,614.34. The S&P fell 0.2% to 6,265.91. Among sectors, energy led the gainers while financials had the steepest decline.

United Airlines (UAL) and JetBlue Airways ( JBLU ) shares were down 4.5% and 3.6% respectively. The companies' proposed Blue Sky partnership could reduce competition and raise fares, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal warned in a letter to the companies' chief executives, Reuters reported.
