U.S. stock gains muted; Time Warner sells off
Wallgreen, Time Warner losses shave nearly 2 points off S&P 500

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks ended Wednesday marginally higher, as investors remained cautious in the wake of heightened geopolitical risks and downbeat European economic news.

A lack of risk appetite globally pushed prices of safe-haven assets higher. U.S. Treasurys rallied and gold futures jumped 1.8% above $1,300 per troy ounce, while global equities fell.

The S&P 500 (SNC:SPX) flat at 1,920.23. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI:DJIA) gained 13.87 points, or 0.1%, to 16,443.34. The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ:COMP) added 2.22 points to 4,355.05. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-futures-fall-as-europes-economy-stumbles-2014-08-06
