Dow snaps 4-day win streak ahead of Fed policy update
U.S. stock benchmarks on Tuesday closed mostly lower in a bumpy session, as investors digested news on trade and awaited a policy decision by the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee due Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 0.1% at 25,887, on a preliminary basis. The decline marked the first for the blue-chip gauge in the past four sessions. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index ended flat at 2,833, while the Nasdaq Composite Index managed a gain of about 0.1% to 7,723. All three benchmarks had been swinging up and down throughout the session. Moves for the equity benchmarks come as the Fed is set to release its policy outlook at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, with that update expected to reaffirm a dovish pivot for the central bank since its last meeting in January. Investors will closely watch the pace of future rate hikes, if any in 2019, and help investors glean when policy makers are slated to end a runoff of a trillion-dollar balance sheet that grew in the aftermath of the 2008-09 crisis. Meanwhile, stocks also reacted to updates related to U.S.-China negotiations, which were said to be nearing a final stage, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were expected fly to Beijing next week. A separate report from Bloomberg News said that China may walk back early trade agreements, citing sources familiar.

Dow stands less than 750 points shy of a record, as a 'golden cross' forms in the blue-chip benchmark
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Tuesday looked set to extend a bullish turn that has seen it register four consecutive gains, putting the index less than 800 points from its October record. Most recently, the Dow was up 173 points, or 0.7%, at 26,086, as of midday Thursday. On Oct. 3, the Dow hit a record at 26,828.39, with its current level putting it about 745 points short of that level. The blue-chip gauge's rally, headed for a fifth straight day, also has formed a bullish golden cross, where its 50-day moving average crossed above its 200-day moving average, a feature often viewed by market technicians as a bullish sign in an asset. The Dow's 50-day stands at 25,180.51, while the 200-day is at 25,166. The bullish cross comes 60 sessions after a bearish death cross appeared on Dec. 19. The last golden cross appeared on April 19, 2016, which was 66 sessions after a death cross appeared. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index was up 0.6% at 2,851, while the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 0.7% at 7,766.
