The statue of former US President George Washington stands at the Federal Hall National Memorial on Wall Street across from the New York Stock Exchange on October 16, 2014. Wall Street stocks finished little changed Thursday following another rocky trading session, as the market weighed better US economic data against fears over global growth.
