Investing.com - The Dow slipped Wednesday, after a record surge a day earlier, as a wobble in the jobs market in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases prompted investors to hit pause on value stocks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.58%, or 173 points, after closing above the 30,000 level on Tuesday.
The S&P 500 was down 0.14%, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.47%.
The U.S Labour Department reported that 778,00 people filed for unemployment insurance, up 30,000 from the prior week's 748,000, and well above expectations for 730,000 claims.
