NEW YORK — Some sharp reversals kept financial markets unsteady on Thursday, as oil prices rose and U.S. stock indexes finished mixed.
The S&P 500 fell 0.5% for a second straight loss after setting its all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 51 points, or 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 1.3% as technology stocks took particularly hard hits.
