U.S. stock indexes gave up an early rally and ended mostly lower Thursday after Republicans delayed a vote on their healthcare bill and left investors concerned about delays for President Trump's business-friendly agenda. Still, the losses were small, suggesting investors think some of those proposals will be delayed rather than abandoned. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.49 points, or 0.1%, to 2,345.96. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller companies, rose 7.83 points, or 0.6%, to 1,353.43. Britain's FTSE 100 index rose 0.2%.
