Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 29.08 points, or 0.12 percent, to 23,587.07, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 1.49 points, or 0.06 percent, to 2,600.93 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 14.67 points, or 0.21 percent, to 6,874.49. pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 lost 0.28 percent and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS shed 0.23 percent.
