Stocks waver as Ireland debt fears remain a focus

Stocks mixed as traders watch Ireland bailout talks; inflation remains tame

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks wavered Wednesday as Ireland discusses a bailout with the European Union and Britain pledged support to help the struggling country.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 2 points in morning trading, a day after the index posted its biggest loss since Aug. 11.

Shares of homebuilders including D.R. Horton Inc. and PulteGroup Inc. fell about 1 percent following the disappointing housing report.

Stocks worldwide have been rattled in recent days as investors fear Ireland will become the latest European country to need a bailout. Greece was bailed out in May after it was unable to contain runaway spending. Ireland is now struggling after a collapse in its housing market forced the country to take over three large banks.
