Stocks were volatile Thursday as market participants weighed mixed signals from the tech sector. Wall Street also sifted through the latest inflation data, which came in better than expected, but is unlikely to change the trajectory for interest rates this year.
At the close, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.1% at 51,920, while the broader S&P 500 was fractionally lower at 7,357 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down 0.5% at 25,358.
