The stock market’s rally stalled on Thursday after new data showed factory-gate inflation picking up, introducing fresh question marks over the outlook for interest rates. Major indexes finished mixed and near the flatline after investors bought the shares of big technology and financial companies and sold smaller stocks that had surged earlier in the week.

In one of the more surprising developments of the current trading environment, U.S. stocks remained near record highs on Thursday despite a sharper-than-expected increase in producer prices and a weakening labor market that is pointing to slowing economic growth.
