Stocks Mixed Thursday; Finance Stocks Dominate Highs Ahead of Earnings Season

During trading Thursday, 113 stocks traded to a 52-week high, while 211 stocks bottomed out at new 52-week lows. The S&P 500 is down 0.45% so far today while the Dow is up 0.21%, the Nasdaq is down 1.49%, and the Russell 2000 is up 0.24%.

Stocks are mixed Thursday after uneven Producer Price Index (PPI) results. PPI for December rose 0.2%, below analysts estimates for a 0.4% jump. Despite the better than expected data core PPI rose slightly more than estimates with a 0.5% increase. The results were also soured by a 0.2% revision upwards for November data on both overall PPI and core PPI with each increasing 1.0% and 0.9% respectively. Meanwhile, initial unemployment claims rose from 207,000 to 230,000, underperforming estimates for a dip to 202,000 claims.
