Stocks turned mixed on Wall Street Wednesday as the market continues an unsettled period of trading ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1%. The benchmark index, which set a record high last Thursday, was being pushed and pulled by swings in technology and consumer-focused companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq was flat. Supply chain problems hurt financial results for several large retailers. Gap sank 23.1% after reporting results that came in far below analysts’ forecasts. Nordstrom gave up 29.9% after it also reported very weak results.
