The broader market index was down 0.5% in late-day trading. At one point in the day, the S&P 500 was up as much as 0.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw most of its gains evaporate and traded just 21 points higher, or 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite lagged, falling 1.1%.

Earlier in the day, the S&P 500 was within 0.5% of its intraday all-time high from Feb. 19.
