Stocks zigzagged Thursday as investors sorted through a disappointing reading on the job market and a pile of uneven earnings reports.
The modest moves came after a late-day slide pushed major indexes lower on Wednesday. Lingering concerns over whether investors had been too optimistic about an economic rebound fed into the drop. Overseas markets fell as a result.
Early Thursday, a rising dollar hurt commodity prices and, in turn, weighed on energy and materials stocks.
The Labor Department said workers filing for unemployment benefits for the first time rose more than expected last week. New unemployment benefits claims rose to 531,000 last week from 520,000 the previous week. Economists had expected only a slight increase, according to Thomson Reuters.
Investors are also poring over earnings reports from a range of industries for insight into the strength of the economy, which is still under pressure because of high unemployment.
Cigarette maker Philip Morris International Inc., printer and copier supply company Xerox Corp. and Dow Chemical Co. all reported weakening sales, but were still able to beat profit expectations.
Online retailer eBay Inc.’s forecast for the fourth quarter, which contains the holiday shopping season, was at the low end of analyst expectations. The stock fell, weighing on the Nasdaq composite index.
Manufacturer 3M Co., insurer Travelers Cos., AT&T Inc. and McDonald’s Corp. posted stronger results than analysts had forecast. The stocks rose, making the Dow Jones industrial average the best performer among the major indexes. Hard money training
