Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:25:05 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are drifting Thursday as Wall Street’s red-hot rally for the year cools a bit more.The S&P 500 was 0.3% lower in late trading after teetering between small gains and losses through the day. It’s on pace for a third drop after setting a 16-month high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 64 points, or 0.2%, at 35,217, as of 3:15 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% lower.A day earlier, U.S. stocks tumbled to their worst loss in months.

Hanging over them all is whether the stock market’s big run this year wa...
