US equity markets settled mostly weaker on Friday (April) as investors eyed diplomatic talks over the weekend that were the highest level negotiations between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Islamic revolution and that sought to build on the two-week ceasefire negotiated last week – Dow lost -269-points or -0.56%. Nike Inc fell -3.14% and hit a 12-year low. The company announced chief innovation officer, Tony Bignell, was departing the company “to pursue his creative and philanthropic passions” less than a year after Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elliot Hill installed him in the role.
