Reuters•27 minutes agoS&P 500 erases losses following Fed minutes
Most Fed policymakers thought it likely another interest rate increase would be warranted "soon" if the U.S. economic outlook remains intact, and that many participants saw little evidence of general overheating of the labor market, minutes of the central bank's last policy meeting showed. "The market is probably breathing a little bit of a sigh of relief knowing that inflation even a bit above two percent may not necessarily mean a faster rate of increases," said Mike Baele, managing director at U.S. Bank Private Client Wealth Management in Portland, Oregon. At 2:36 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) fell 60.9 points, or 0.25 percent, to 24,773.51, the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 2.04 points, or 0.07 percent, to 2,722.4 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) added 13.82 points, or 0.19 percent, to 7,392.28.

Stocks Search for Direction as Trump Comments Lead to Worries Over China Talks
Stocks are volatile on Wednesday, May 23, and global equities tumbled as sentiment was dented by comments from Donald Trump that cast doubt on a planned nuclear summit with North Korea and ongoing trade talks with China.
