U.S.
stocks fluctuated, with benchmark indexes near all-time highs, as
investors assessed data on labor, manufacturing and housing to gauge the
strength of the American economy.
Phone
companies climbed 1 percent, while technology stocks gained as
Hewlett-Packard Co. rose to the highest level since May 2011 even after
missing analyst estimates in an earnings report yesterday. Energy
producers decreased as Seadrill Ltd. suspended dividends amid the lowest
oil prices in more than four years.
The

12:01 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 16.5
points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 17,798.44. The Nasdaq 100 Index
climbed 0.4 percent. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 30 percent
below the 30-day average for this time of the day. U.S. markets will be
