The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index was unchanged, hovering near 14,865.06. Only four out of nine industries within the index advanced. The top-performers were consumer services and telecommunications, climbing 1.31% and 0.45%. Home Depot Inc. and McDonald's Corp rose 2.39% and 1.57%, while Verizon Communications Inc and AT&T Inc jumped 0.69% and 0.13%. At the same time, basic materials and oil and gas companies retreated on falling commodity prices. Among basic materials producers, Alcoa Inc and EI du Pont de Nemours & Co dived 1.20% and 0.93%, the biggest and the second-biggest drops in the stock index. Meanwhile, Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. slid 0.84% and 0.26%.
