NEW YORK (AP) — Investors cooled their buying of stocks and commodities, pausing from a surge that carried major stock indexes to their highest levels in more than a year.
Stocks ended mixed Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrials tacked on 20 points a day after shooting up 200 points for the second time in three days.
The stock market is again taking its cues from the dollar. A slight rebound in the dollar weighed on stocks.
The Dow is up 20 at 10,247. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down less than 1 at 1,093. The Nasdaq composite index is down 3 at 2,151.
Three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume totaled 1.1 billion compared with 1.2 billion Monday.
