MarketWatch 6/16/10 Wed. 4:22 pm by Nick Godt says U.S. stocks finished Wednesday's session little changed, unable to shake off early weakness from a drop in U.S. home building and afternoon news that BP Plc (BP 31.97, +0.12, +0.38%) agreed to pay $20 billion to victims of its oil spill. After a big rally on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,409, +4.69, +0.05%) ended on a gain of 4.69 points, or 0.1%, to 10,409.46, with 14 of its 30 components rising.
