NEW YORK - Stock prices closed mostly higher Thursday in a turbulent session that saw the Dow Jones industrial average change direction several times but still manage to make its fourth-straight record high close. |
The Dow finished up 51.06 at 10,462.72, topping Wednesday's record of 10,411.66. |
The market stumbled in the afternoon as investors keyed into a rise in bond yields. |
The Dow components were led higher by such recently out-of-favor manufacturers as Boeing, DuPont and International Paper. |
