Dow Gives Back Gains in Afternoon Trading
All three indexes pared earlier gains, pointing lower in afternoon trading.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 73 points, or 0.2%, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite was flat.
If the major indexes can finish higher today, it would mark the fifth straight day of gains to end what has been a difficult month for the market.
