Stocks Nearly Flat as Soft Economic Data, Euro-Zone Worries Dominate Trader Moods

By MT Newswires,  June 13, 2012, 12:06:16 PM EDT

Stocks are little changed at mid-day after a pair of new economic reports - retail sales and producer prices - had traders fretting about a slowing U.S. economy. The European debt crisis also continues to weigh on global markets ahead of Greek parliamentary elections this weekend. Industry sectors in the S&P 500 are roughly split equally between winners and losers, with the best gains seen among healthcare and technology stocks while shares of energy and consumer discretionary companies are posting the biggest losses. Commodities are moderately higher.
