US stocks wobbled on Thursday after chipmaker Micron’s outlook put a dent in tech-rally hopes, as investors assessed fresh economic data ahead of an inflation reading key to Federal Reserve policy. The S&P 500 was little changed, paring earlier still-slight losses after rising Wednesday to close not far short of a new all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was also flat.
Investors were weighing a new batch of economic data ahead of the PCE inflation print on Friday that will influence the Fed's thinking on timing of interest-rate cuts. A reading on initial weekly jobless claims came in at 233,000, a decrease of 6,000 from the previous week, according to Department of Labor data. The print came in below a consensus expectation of 235,000.
