WALL STREET Economists' fears stifle recent rally

Employers added 215,000 jobs in November, the most since July.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Solid employment data failed to extend Wall Street's rally Friday as renewed interest rate concerns spurred profit-taking and left stocks mixed. The major indexes also ended the week mixed.
Wall Street had a mild reaction to the Labor Department's announcement that U.S. employers added 215,000 jobs in November, the biggest gain since July. That bested economists' forecast for a 210,000 increase, and October's growth of 44,000.
Bond prices steadied after three days of losses, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note flat at 4.52 percent from late Thursday. The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices lingered above $500 per ounce.
For the week, the Dow slipped 0.54 percent, and the S & amp;P 500 was off 0.25 percent, while the Nasdaq gained 0.46 percent.
Some analysts continue to cast doubt on the recent economic news and point to any number of indicators that could energize or spook a jumpy market.
