Markets Right Now: Stocks shake off an early loss, end mixed

NEW YORK (AP) — The latest on developments in financial markets (all times local):4 p.m.

Stocks recovered most of an early loss and drifted to a mixed finish on Wall Street as gains for banks and industrial companies were offset by losses elsewhere in the market.

Capital One Financial rose 1.7 percent Wednesday, and Boeing climbed 2 percent. UnitedHealth Group fell 4.9 percent.

The market slumped in the early going after a key U.S. trade representative heightened doubt over how much progress was being made in trade talks between the U.S. and China.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 72 points, or 0.3 percent, to 25,985. The Nasdaq edged up 5 points, or 0.
