Stocks on Wall Street were lower, breaking the recent streak of the Dow and S&P 500 setting new closing highs. The averages moved higher during the afternoon, as the dollar topped the Y100 level for the first time in three years, though the averages fell again and failed to regain positive territory into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., jobless claims fell 4K from the prior week to 323K, which was below the consensus 335K claim forecast.
