Mixed day on Wall Street in post-holiday trading

Associated Press

Wall Street closed mixed in uneven post-holiday trading Thursday as a rebound in bond yields stifled Wall Street's excitement about new buyout activity and strength in the U.S. service sector. Also hurting the Dow Jones industrial average was General Motors Corp., one of the blue-chip index's 30 components. GM was downgraded by a Bear Stearns analyst after the automaker on Tuesday posted a 21.3 percent drop in June sales compared to last year.

  • The Dow Jones industrial average fell 11.46, or 0.08 percent, to 13,565.84.

  • The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.53, or 0.03 percent, to 1,525.40.

  • The Nasdaq composite index added 11.70, or 0.44 percent, to 2,656.65.

    For the week:

  • The Dow is up 157.22, or 1.17 percent.

  • The S&P is up 22.05, or 1.47 percent.

  • The Nasdaq is up 53.42, or 2.05 percent.

    For the year:

  • The Dow is up 1,102.69, or 8.94 percent.

  • The S&P is up 107.10, or 7.55 percent.

  • The Nasdaq is up 241.36, or 9.99 percent.
