Mixed Stocks as GDP Strength Fails to Convince Markets
Wall Street posted a mixed session as the GDP grew 7.2 percent in Q3, the fastest pace since early 1984, but analysts questioned sustainability. Exxon Mobil disappointed, lifting caution while the Dow edged up 12.08 points to 9,786.61. The Nasdaq slipped to 1,932.69 and the S&P 500 fell to 1,046.94 as investors weighed future growth against past performance. Jobless claims fell 5,000 to 386,000, signaling slower layoffs ahead.
