The U.S. markets on Wednesday ended mostly higher as a steeper-than-expected drop in the weekly jobless claims kept the investors' mood positive. The number of people who applied for U.S. unemployment-insurance benefits declined by 9,000 to 280,000 in the week ended December 20, 2014, a seven-week low and only modestly above a 14-year low. During the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.03%, S&P 500 declined 0.01%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.17%.
