Stocks waver, dollar slips as traders shrug off trade talk
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are little changed Friday as traders shrug off the latest trade threats from President Donald Trump and focus on company earnings reports, which contained some better-than-expected results from big names including Microsoft. Banks are rising along with interest rates and high-dividend companies are slipping.
