Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Wall Street closes barely changed - oil price rises

US stock markets mostly recovered from initial losses on Thursday. The Dow Jones closed at 50,926 points, nearly unchanged from the previous day, while the S&P 500 closed slightly up at 7,666 points and the Nasdaq remained unchanged at 26,871 points. The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.3% to 30,501. Recent inflation data showed the personal consumption expenditures price index remained at 3.4% in August, lower than expected, which may lead the Federal Reserve to forego a rate hike in October.

Despite this, Micron's shares fell over 3% after the company released surprisingly high targets for the current quarter.
