Stocks snapped a four-day losing streak Wednesday after a late rally.

Stocks had been lower for much of the day after dismal housing and durable goods data stressed the prospect of an economic slowdown.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up about 20 points, or 0.2 percent, ending above 10,000, after falling below that mark earlier. This came after a four-day losing streak in which the Dow lost a total of 3.6 percent. The index has fallen for 15 of the past 20 trading sessions.
