Stocks edge higher despite rate fears with mixed close
Wall Street ended the week mixed as investors pulled back on tech shares while blue chips rose. Nokia’s weak earnings dented the Nasdaq, even as the Dow and S&P 500 posted solid gains amid hopes that inflation slowdowns may curb a rate rise. Housing starts jumped 6.4 percent in March, offset by a 0.2 percent drop in industrial production.
