Stocks were mixed in morning trading on Wall Street Tuesday ahead of more news this week on the Federal Reserve and the jobs market. The S&P 500 edged up 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq rose 0.1%. Small-company stocks edged lower after surging a day earlier. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.56%. Crude oil prices fell and weighed down energy stocks. Pfizer was up 2.2% after delivering a strong profit report. Losses from a mix of banks and companies that rely on direct consumer spending offset gains elsewhere in the market.
