Stocks Ended Mixed, Dow Retreated from Record High

U.S. stocks ended mixed on Thursday, with the Dow retreating from record high, after all three benchmarks touched intraday records. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 7.10 points, or 0.02%, to 31,430.70. The S&P 500 added 6.50 points, or 0.17%, to 3,916.38. The Nasdaq Composite gained 53.24 points, or 0.38%, to 14,025.77.

Oil futures settled lower Thursday, as traders fretted over a lower demand forecast for this year, putting an end to the longest streak of session price gains in more than two years. West Texas Intermediate crude for March delivery fell 44 cents, or nearly 0.8%, to settle at $58.24 a barrel. April Brent crude lost 33 cents, or 0.5%, at $61.14 a barrel.

Bumble (BMBL) shares opened at $76 each in its public debut on Thursday, becoming the latest high-growth, consumer-facing tech company to post a strong first session on the public markets.
