Stock prices are mixed after a better-than-expected jobs report
Stocks were mixed in early trading Friday as investors held back from making big moves after a five-day rally.
Many traders are still expecting a pullback in the market after the extended period of gains, but some upbeat corporate news was drawing in more buyers.
FedEx, whose delivery business is often seen as an indicator for the health of the economy, raised its first-quarter earnings forecast because of stronger international shipments and cost-cuts.

Stocks are higher following gains in overseas markets
Investors are building on last week’s momentum that sent major indexes to their highest levels of the year, pushing stocks higher in early trading.
The moderate advance Monday follows gains in overseas markets. Oil and other commodities are higher, while Treasury prices are mostly lower ahead of the government’s latest round of auctions.
Stocks edged higher despite a worse-than-expected weekly jobs report
The Labor Department said new claims for unemployment benefits jumped unexpectedly to 576,000 last week. Economists, who are hoping for a return to economic growth this year, had predicted a decline.
However, U.S. stocks got some support from a rebound in overseas markets. In China, the Shanghai market bounced back from a sharp sell-off and the major European indexes were all up about 1 percent.
