Jan 8 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks lost momentum on Friday with
the S&P 500 easing from record levels as losses in financials
and industrials intensified after surging this week on hopes for
further economic aid under a Democrat-controlled Congress.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq, however, climbed on a boost from
sharp gains in Tesla Inc TSLA and Baidu Inc BIDU.O .
At 01:32 p.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI
fell 172.61 points, or 0.54%, to 30,868.52, the S&P 500 .SPX
lost 7.19 points, or 0.19%, to 3,796.60, and the Nasdaq
Composite .IXIC gained 27.47 points, or 0.21%, to 13,094.97.
