S&P 500, Dow close lower after bank earnings, inflation data

The S&P 500 (.SPX) pared early losses to close modestly lower on Thursday after investors digested disappointing quarterly results from two large U.S. banks and hotter-than-expected inflation data.

Initially, all three major U.S. stock indexes sold off sharply in the wake of second-quarter earnings from JPMorgan Chase & Co and Morgan Stanley (MS.N). Both reported slumping profits and warned of impending economic slowdown.

Losses narrowed as the session wore on, with advancing microchip stocks (.SOX) helping nudge the Nasdaq Composite Index to a nominal gain.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) fell 142.62 points, or 0.46%, to 30,630.17, the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 11.4 points, or 0.30%, at 3,790.38 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) added 3.60 points, or 0.03%, at 11,251.19.

Eight of the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 ended the day in negative territory, with financials (.SPSY) suffering the largest percentage loss, dropping 1.9%.

Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.86 billion shares, compared with the 12.48 billion averages over the last 20 trading days.
