TOKYO –
Stocks wobbled in morning trading on Wall Street Thursday, a day after the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials approached the record highs they set this summer.
The S&P 500 was relatively unchanged, with falling technology and health care stocks offsetting gains elsewhere. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3% and the Nasdaq rose 0.3%. IBM slumped 7.1% after reporting quarterly revenue that fell shy of analysts’ forecasts.
Among other companies reporting earnings, Tesla rose 3.5% after reporting record profits despite parts shortages and shipping delays, European markets were also lower and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices fell about 1%.
