NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is drifting after a report said inflation last month and growth for the economy during the spring were a touch worse than economists expected. The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% Wednesday but remains near its all-time high set earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 7 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2%. Wall Street is making relatively few big moves ahead of an earnings report coming from its most influential stock, Nvidia, after trading ends for the day. The bond market is holding relatively steady following some brief swings, while oil prices continue to drop.
