Wall Street Summary
US stocks finished mixed and well off session highs as investors weighed a mixed bag of earnings from heavyweights including Microsoft, Alphabet, Visa and Boeing. The main indices finished near intraday lows as sellers faded a mid-session rally.
The $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US$ clung on for a gain of nine points or 0.21 per cent. The $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US$ finished 62 points or 0.19 per cent ahead after being up more than 450 points.

AU Market Watch
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 looks likely to bounce at the open, paring losses from the past three sessions after US equities steadied following their own steep drops. ASX futures are up by 0.7%, suggesting at least a partial recovery from yesterday's 0.8% drop. Commodity stocks on the local bourse could be supported by rises in oil futures and iron-ore prices.
