WALL STREET MIXED, BUT S&P 500, NASDAQ PUSH FURTHER INTO RECORD HIGH TERRITORY

Wall Street's main indexes are mixed with just modest changes early on Friday, as investors weigh a week of mixed economic signals and earnings reports, while Netflix's NFLX.O blockbuster profit failed to spark much excitement.

Still, both the S&P 500 index .SPX and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC are on track to score fresh record closing highs, and most S&P 500 index .SPX sectors are higher.

Utilities .SPLRCU is posting the biggest gain. Utilities, industrials .SPLRCI, and tech .SPLRCT are all on pace to score record closing highs.

Meanwhile, with NFLX trading down more than 5%, communication services .SPLRCL is the weakest group.

For the week so far, the S&P 500 index .SPX is gaining about 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC is up about 1.6%. The Dow .DJI is around flat.

Here is a snapshot of where markets stood just shortly after 10:00 a.m. EDT:
