NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks drifted to a mixed finish as Wall Street and other financial markets wait for a highly anticipated meeting on Saturday between China and the United States on trade. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1% Friday to finish the week with a modest dip of 0.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite was little changed. The calm movements for all three indexes offered a respite after stocks whipsawed for weeks on fears about President Donald Trump’s trade war and then on hopes that he’ll relent on some of his tariffs. Treasury yields held relatively steady.
