US stocks mixed as Europe wavers
|
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 29.13 points (0.25 percent) to 11,799.86 in closing trade. The broad-based S&P 500 edged down 0.26 point (0.02 percent) to 1,215.87, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 15.49 points (0.60 percent) 2,572.50. Markets got a slight lift from a jump in the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators, providing more evidence that the economy has picked up speed. But that optimism was overtaken by worries about the sovereign debt crisis rocking Europe. |
