The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Wednesday's session near the flatline as the postelection rally lost some steam. Traders also contemplated a key inflation report that was in line with expectations.
The S&P 500 inched higher by 0.02% to close at 5,985.38, while the 30-stock Dow ticked up 47.21 points, or 0.11%, to 43,958.19. The blue-chip index added as much as 230 points earlier on Wednesday. The Nasdaq Composite ended the day with a 0.26% decline and closed at 19,230.74.
The October consumer price index accelerated a tad to a 2.6% annual rate, matching the consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones. Core prices, which exclude food and energy from the reading, rose 3.3% last month, which also matched estimates. After the inflation report, fed funds futures trading suggested a high likelihood that central bank policymakers would cut rates again in December, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
