Stocks turn mixed as contraction in the service industry fuels concerns about an economic recovery

Stocks are paring their gains as unexpected weakness in the service industry stirs worries about the economy’s ability to recover.

The Institute for Supply Management says Thursday its service industry index has fallen to 48.7 in November from 50.6 in October. That’s well below the reading of 51.5 analysts had been expecting and signals contraction in the industry.

Stocks had been higher at the start of trading on a Labor Department report that new claims for unemployment benefits fell unexpectedly for the fifth straight week.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 3 at 10,450. It had been up 20 ahead of the report. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up 1 at 1,110, while the Nasdaq composite index is up 10 at 2,195.
