Shares of 21st Century Fox (FOX -6.20%) fell amid speculation the bid to buy Sky Plc (SKYAY -1.32%) could run into a roadblock. In Health Care, Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN -12.86%) as the board announced the resignation of the CEO and CFO.

Treasuries finished mixed with the benchmark 10-year note down 2/32 to yield 2.47%. In commodities, COMEX gold added 0.4% to $1163.50/ounce.
