Marketwatch tells MHProNews that U.S. stocks ended marginally lower on Wednesday as investors wrestled with interpreting minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting. Minutes showed that officials were not in a rush to raise interest rates, as “many” on the Fed said a premature rate hike would harm the recovery, while only “several” thought a later move would risk high inflation.

The S&P 500 closed less than a point below its previous closing record, reached on Tuesday, ending at 2,099.66 according to preliminary data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 17.41 points, or 0.1%, to 18,030.17. The Nasdaq Composite defied the trend and added 7.10 points, or 0.1%, to 4,906.36.
