A day of dramatic swings on Wall Street, including the worst day for Microsoft in years, finished with only relatively modest moves.
The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% Thursday after flirting with its record high in the morning and falling by as much as 1.5% in the midday hours. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.7%.
Microsoft tumbled following its profit report, but a big gain for Meta Platforms helped to nearly offset it. Oil prices rose, while Treasury yields edged lower in the bond market.
