By Michael P. Regan
Feb. 18 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks drifted between gains and losses as a rally in commodity producers offset a drop in consumer companies triggered by disappointing sales at Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose less than 0.1 percent to 1,099.87 at 9:39 a.m. in New York and fell as much as 0.2 percent earlier.
