The Closing Bell: Dow, S&P 500 , Nasdaq, & Rut 2000 Erases Losses Following Fed Minutes

edited May 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. stocks pared losses to stage a mild rebound on Wednesday, after the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s May 2 meeting confirmed policy-makers support for a June rate increase and a calm attitude about inflation outlook

Stocks were under pressure earlier as geopolitical and trade concerns continued to nag at investors, reversing optimistic sentiment toward these issues that had spurred an equity rally at the start of the week.
Regards,
Ted
