Commercial bank stocks were mixed Thursday morning after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the financial sector needs to do a better job detecting and protecting itself against risks, like the recent credit and subprime crises.

Meanwhile investors digested a jump in jobless claims last week and a dip in industrial production during April that had the broader market fluctuating between gains and losses.

Here's how some shares of commercial banks are trading:

National City Corp., up 2 cents to $5.87.

Wachovia Corp., down 45 cents to $27.19.

First Horizon National Corp., down a penny to $10.01.

Zions Bancorp., down 21 cents to $44.86.
