(Sharecast News) - Wall Street trading got off to a mixed start on Friday after the blue-chip Dow Jones turned in its sixth-consecutive losing session a day earlier.
As of 1500 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.09% at 43,874.71, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.26% to 6,067.06 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 0.64% firmer at 20,029.26.
The Dow opened 39.41 points lower on Friday, extending losses recorded in the previous session after last month's producer price index came in hotter than expected.
On Friday's macro slate, US import prices rose more or less as expected last month on the back of dearer energy. According to the US Department of Labor, in seasonally adjusted terms, import prices edged up at a month-on-month pace of 0.1%. Economists had forecast a decline of 0.2%.
Export prices, on the other hand, were unchanged versus October, held back by a 0.4% drop in agricultural export prices.
In the corporate space, Broadcom shares were up more than 22% after the chipmaker topped Q4 adjusted earnings estimates overnight as AI revenues surged 220% year-on-year.
No major earnings were slated for release on Friday.
