Stock market today: Wall Street drifts after its latest record-setting day

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are drifting as Wall Street’s momentum cools following its latest record-setting day. The S&P 500 was up 0.1% early Thursday, a day after setting an all-time high for the 25th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 26 points, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% higher a day after hitting its own record. Lululemon Athletica climbed 4% after reporting better profit than expected.

Vista Outdoors jumped more than 8% after MNC Capital Partners announced that it boosted its all-cash bid for the outdoor sports and recreation company to $39.50 per share, or over $3 billion. Its previous offer was $37.50 per share. The Fed keeps a close watch on the labor market and wages when it considers whether to cut, raise or leave its benchmark borrowing rate alone. The Fed meets next week and most analysts expect the U.S. central bank to leave rates alone for the seventh straight time.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.7% to 7,821.80 after data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed the country's trading surplus rebounded in April, with exports falling 2.5% and imports dropping 7.2%.
