GLOBAL MARKETS - US Stocks Mixed Amid Cautious Fed Comments, Gold Shines

WALL STREET - NEW YORK, May 20 (Reuters) - Wall Street was mixed on Monday while gold jumped to an all-time high as investors weighed hawkish statements from the Federal Reserve against evidence of cooling U.S. inflation.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the pack with a boost from chips .SOX, while the blue-chip Dow dipped below 40,000 after closing on Friday above that level for the first time.
