Stocks pare losses; Dow turns postive


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks pared losses and the Dow briefly turned positive on Friday as worries about a surprise increase in the Federal Reserve's discount rate were offset by optimism about data showing consumer prices rising less than expected in January.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was down 5.74 points, or 0.06 percent, at 10,387.16. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.73 points, or 0.07 percent, at 1,106.02. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 4.22 points, or 0.19 percent, at 2,237.49.
