U.S. stocks pared a
retreat as energy shares trimmed declines amid a rebound in oil prices,
while banks pulled back from their best rally in more than five years.
The S&P 500
slipped 0.2 percent to 1,923.03 at 12:06 p.m. in New York, after losing
as much as 0.6 percent. The gauge’s 1.7 percent rally on Wednesday
capped its first three-day gain of the year.
Equities lost momentum
Thursday after recent gains that have come just as fast as the losses
that sent the S&P 500 to its worst start to any year. Almost half of
2016’s decline was erased in the prior three sessions as the most
beaten-down industries, including banks, technology and retailer shares,
led a comeback.
The S&P 500 is
still down about 10 percent from its May record, and has lost 6.1
percent this year amid signs of weakness in the global economy and
falling commodity prices.
