NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks wavered in morning trading on Wall Street Friday as the first week of corporate earnings season closes out with markets trading near record levels.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 83 points, or 0.2%, as of 10:07 a.m. Eastern. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.2%.
Technology stocks were doing the heavy lifting for the broader market. Most stocks within the S&P 500 were losing ground, but several big technology stocks made strong gains and countered losses elsewhere.
Nvidia rose 1.3% and Broadcom rose 1.8%. They are among several Big Tech companies with outsized valuations that often push the market higher or lower.
A handful of regional U.S. banks reported their earnings following mixed reports from their larger peers. Pittsburgh’s PNC jumped 3.8% after it beat Wall Street’s fourth-quarter targets, but Regions Financial fell 2.9% after reporting results that missed forecasts.
