U.S. equities finished narrowly mixed near record levels on Thursday as earnings season remains in progress. Uncertainty was renewed regarding the Trump administration's ability to implement its pro-growth proposals.

The three major indexes reached session lows on the report before rising back.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 0.13 percent to 21,611.78. UnitedHealth was the largest contributor to gains in the Dow.

The S&P 500 reached an all-time peak of 2,477.62 but came less than a point shy of ending at a record, shedding 0.02 percent to 2,473.45. Telecommunications led four sector up and materials was the largest decliner.

The Nasdaq composite reached an all-time peak of 6,398.26 earlier in the session. The Nasdaq closed 0.08 percent higher at 6,390, a record close and its first 10-day winning streak since February 2015. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) closed one percent higher, as Apple dropped half a percent.

Retailers and appliance makers dropped after Sears said it will sell its Kenmore home appliances on Amazon and also integrate the brand's smart gadgets with the online giant's Alexa digital assistant. Shares of Sears rose 10.6 percent at $9.60 while Amazon gained 0.2 percent.
