US stock markets witness choppy moves

The US stock markets witnessed choppy moves on Wednesday as a rather erratic start to the December quarter continued. The Dow added 39.55 points or 0.1 percent to 42,196.52, the Nasdaq rose 14.76 points or 0.1 percent to 17,925.12 and the S&P 500 edged up 0.79 points or less than a tenth of a percent to 5,709.54.
