Wall Street is narrowly mixed in early trading, with a pullback in oil prices encouraging investors to try to recover some of last week's losses.
Crude prices are dipping below $136 a barrel in early trading after shooting above $139 last week. On Friday, soaring energy prices and a huge jump in the unemployment rate sent the Dow Jones industrial average plunging nearly 400 points.
After Friday's rout, the Dow is up about 39 points at the 12,249 level.
