U.S. stocks are mixed in jumbled trading on Friday after a weak jobs report raised questions about the Federal Reserve’s timeline to pare back its immense support for markets.
The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in afternoon trading after earlier wavering between a 0.1% loss and 0.3% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 6 points, or less than 0.1%, at 34.761, as of 12:11 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.3% lower.
