U.S. markets start with stagger
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- U.S. stock indexes staggered out of the gate Thursday reflecting mixed reactions to U.S. Federal Reserve meeting minutes released Wednesday.
The Fed lowered its expectations for growth and boosted worries over inflation by increasing its overall and core inflation rate figures by 0.3 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 48.69 points to 12,378.57, off 0.30 percent, in late-morning trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 6.13 points, or 0.45 percent, to 1,353.90.
