US stocks ended broadly lower after an up-and-down day marked by a deluge of earnings news, the AP reports. Investors sold bonds Thursday, sending yields higher.

Industrial companies like defense contractor Raytheon fell, but health care companies bucked the downward trend and ended higher. Drugmaker Celgene jumped 6% after reporting earnings that easily beat analysts' forecasts. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 29 points, or 0.2%, to 18,169. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 6 points, or 0.3%, to 2,133. The Nasdaq composite lost 34 points, or 0.7%, to 5,215. (Read more Dow Jones stories.)
