Stocks were mixed on Thursday (May 3), following the Federal Reserve's hawkish tone on interest rates and as the U.S. began 2 days of trade talks with China. The #DJIA was up 5 points, or 0.02%, to 23,930. Earlier in the volatile session the #Dow was down 390 points. The S&P 500 declined 0.23% and the #Nasdaq dropped 0.18%.
