The Closing Bell: Stocks Fall Ahead of Yellen Speech Friday:

FYI: U.S. stocks on Wednesday afternoon were trading at the lows of the session as selling in health-care shares, sparked by intensifying outrage over the pricing of a lifesaving drug by Mylan, put pressure on the broader market.

Volume was tracking lower, which indicated no excessive selling among institutional investors. Breadth was mixed, with winners over losers 11-to-10 on the Nasdaq, but decliners 8-to-5 over advancers on the NYSE.
Regards,
Ted
