US stocks end mixed as bank worries offset energy gains

US indices finished mixed amid renewed credit concerns at regional lenders and cautious comments from President Trump on drug pricing reforms. The Dow inched 0.1% higher, S&P 500 was flat, and Nasdaq fell 0.3% as technology lagged. Energy and industrials provided modest support, while bond yields stayed elevated. Traders rotated into defensives ahead of upcoming bank-earnings releases. Analysts said sentiment remains fragile until deposit stability improves and rate-cut guidance becomes clearer after next week’s Federal Reserve commentary.
