Syria weighs and Wall Street closed mixed after fading highs
FXstreet.com (San Francisco) - In a choppy session, the US stocks market closed mixed the last day of the week as investors digested weaker than expected non farm payrolls and a decline in the US Unemployment rate with a multi-year low participation rate.
