Wall Street struggled to find a direction Friday as investors sorted through better-than-expected earnings reports from banking giant Citigroup Inc. and industrial conglomerate General Electric Co.

Stocks fluctuated in the early going, making modest moves as investors were relieved the reports weren't worse, but were mindful of the weakness that still pervades the financial sector.

Citigroup, considered to be one of the most troubled U.S. banks, reported a quarterly loss of just under $1 billion, less than analysts expected. And before paying preferred dividends, the bank turned a profit of $1.6 billion. A year ago, Citigroup suffered a loss of more than $5 billion.

Meanwhile, General Electric's first-quarter earnings fell 36 percent, hurt by waning sales and a sharply lower profit at its ailing finance arm, GE Capital. But the results exceeded Wall Street's forecasts.

There has been a growing sense on Wall Street that the economy is starting to stabilize. But investors are looking to first-quarter earnings reports for confirmation that business conditions are in fact improving.
