BANGKOK — Wall Street isn’t moving much, but a swirl of competing forces are pushing and pulling on markets under the seemingly calm surface.

The S&P 500 was flat early Thursday following a mixed set of profit reports and forecasts from Tesla and other influential stocks. The Dow was 9 points higher, and the Nasdaq composite was up 0.1%. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury hit its highest level since 2007 before paring back. Oil prices gave back a chunk of their jump from a day before, which was launched by worries about war in the Middle East.Wall Street edged lower early Thursday as after big U.S.

AT&T shares jumped 4.7% after the telecom beat Wall Street’s third-quarter expectations and raised its guidance for the year.Worries about war in the Middle East are also dragging on markets. Early Thursday, U.S. benchmark crude oil fell 72 cents at $86.55 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It had surged $1.83 on Wednesday to $87.27 per barrel.

Tesla's share price fell 7.2% in afterhours trading after it reported Wednesday that its net income slumped in the third quarter, as price reductions helped drive strong sales growth but ate into the automaker’s profit margins.
