NEW YORK nike air vapormax flyknit scontate , June 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks opened narrowly mixed Monday to kick off a holiday shortened week, as major stock indices are on track to end June on a positive note.
On the economic front, the Chicago Business Barometer eased to 62.6 in June, from a seven-month high of 65.5 in May, but was still up sharply on the quarter and consistent with a bounce-back in the second-quarter GDP nike air vapormax uomo scontate , the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago said on Monday. But the latest figure missed market expectations.
Later in the morning session, the National Association of Realtors will release pending home sales for May, and the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank will publish its June manufacturing survey.
The major focus of the week will be the U.S. nonfarm payroll report for June scheduled for release on Thursday by the Labor Department. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the U.S. unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 6.3 percent in June with 211,000 jobs created.
U.S. financial markets will be closed on Friday for the Independence Day holiday.
Monday marks the final trading day of June and the first half of this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 are poised to end June higher to post their fifth straight month of gains, while the Nasdaq is also pointed to log monthly gains.
Moreover nike air vapormax scontate , the three major stock indices are on track to end the first half of 2014 higher.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.
The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.
Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy nike air max 2017 scontate , saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.
Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke, who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.
In the public debut in her new role nike air max 2018 elite donne scontate , Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.
Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate, now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.
"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective nike air max 2018 elite uomo scontate , the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.
While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected, Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.
The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January nike air max 2018 elite scontate , citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.
The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 billion dollars a month, at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.
Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role, saying that the work of making the.
