Major U.S. stock-indexes Wall Street was flat on Friday as investors digested U.S. corporate earnings as well as data that pointed to a slow global economic recovery, ahead of a crucial meeting of oil producers to help tackle a global surplus. Crude oil was down more than 3% ahead of Sunday's meeting in Doha, led by top exporters Saudi Arabia and Russia, to discuss a production freeze. The nervousness about the meeting overshadowed positive Chinese data, which showed the country's gross domestic product in the first quarter was in line with expectations - another sign that Asia's largest economy was on the mend.

Dow stocks mixed (17 in positive area, 13 in negative area). Top looser - Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO, -1,35%). Top gainer - The Travelers Companies, Inc. (TRV +0,99%).

Most of S&P sectors in positive area. Top looser - Basic Materials (-0,5%). Top gainer - Utilities (+0,5%).
