Stocks struggled to stay positive at Friday’s opening bell. Traders are waiting for the consumer sentiment data after a weaker-than-expected inflation report. U.S. producer prices fell 0.5% in February, economists were expecting an increase of 0.3%. Core producer prices, excluding volatile items like food and energy costs, also fell 0.5%. The Wall Street Journal says an investigation is underway involving potential stock manipulation of Herbalife (HLF). Prosecutors are interviewing people tied to investor Bill Ackman, who has had a long-standing short position in Herbalife.
