New York — Investors can’t shake their worries that the economy won’t be able to lock in a recovery by the end of the year. The Dow Jones industrials rose 14.81, or 0.2 percent, to 8,178.41.

Stocks finished mostly lower after zigzagging Wednesday as a mixed outlook on the economy from the International Monetary Fund and falling commodity prices added to a downbeat mood.

Another tumble in oil prices dragged energy shares lower and reflected concerns that demand for resources will remain weak as the economy struggles.
