Stocks have turned mixed, with the Dow and S&P 500 falling into negative territory.

The Dow is down 38 points, the S&P 500 is roughly unchanged, and the Nasdaq is up 17 points.

The move is being partly attributed to a report from The Wall Street Journal that said Syrian warplanes struck targets in western Iraq.
