Wall Street slips after weak homes sales report


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 index turned negative after a report showed sales of newly built U.S. single-family homes unexpectedly fell to their lowest level in seven months in November, shaking confidence in recent signs of stabilization in the housing market.

    The technology-heavy Nasdaq was buoyed after chipmaker Micron Technology recorded its first quarterly profit in almost three years.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was down 9.68 points, or 0.09 percent, at 10,455.25. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.39 points, or 0.03 percent, at 1,117.63. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 3.70 points, or 0.16 percent, at 2,256.37.
