Dow Jones hovers below 11,000

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks mostly fell today on renewed concerns about Greece's debt crisis and as weaker oil prices hurt energy shares.

The Dow Jones industrial average pulled back from the 11,000 level after failing to cross it the past two days. The Dow hasn't been above the psychological benchmark in 18 months.

The Dow slipped 15 points in afternoon trading. Broader indexes were mixed.

Greece's borrowing costs remained high Tuesday and its stock market fell as the country's finance minister sought advice from an International Monetary Fund team on how to speed up fiscal reforms.

Greece's debt problems have undermined confidence in Europe's shared currency, the euro, and caused jitters on world markets.

Even with the setbacks triggered by Greece's fiscal crisis, U.S. stocks have been on a nearly unbroken climb for about 13 months. The past two months' gains have come mostly from more modest moves upward, in sharp contrast to the triple-digit gains that were common early in the market's recovery.
