The
S&P 500 ended little changed Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average edged up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%.
Treasury yields were also mixed after a report said the
inflation that U.S. consumers felt last month was exactly as
economists expected.
That strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut
interest rates for a third time this year in about a month and
sent short-term Treasury yields lower.
On Wednesday:
The S&P 500 rose 1.39 points, or less than 0.1%, to 5,985.38.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 47.21 points, or 0.1%, to
43,958.19.
The Nasdaq composite fell 50.66 points, or 0.3%, to 19,230.74.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 22.47 points,
or 0.9%, to 2,369.37.
