[$$] Investors Change Tack as Rates Rise
The wild swings in stock and bond markets this month are another sign that investors are struggling to adapt to a world where central banks are curbing the flow of easy money. Many professional investors say the turbulence reflects the early stages of what they call a rotation, a pragmatic decision to reallocate money away from assets whose gains now appear at risk—in this case, the most highly valued stocks such as technology-company shares—to safer sectors such as bonds. Minutes released Wednesday from the Federal Reserve’s September meeting showed officials believe the economy is strong enough to absorb additional rate increases, heightening investor expectations that the central bank will continue on its course of increases.

Dow Drops 91 Points…and We Can Blame IBM
Bottom Fishing After starting Wednesday lower, the S&P 500 finished just about even, despite a brief scare following the release of the minutes from September’s Federal Reserve meeting. The same couldn’t be said about the Dow, which dropped more than 90 points thanks to IBM’s post-earnings tumble. The numbers have been good: 90% of them have topped earnings forecasts and 70% have exceeded sales expectations.

Wall St. falls as investors eye a united hawkish Fed
Wall Street's major indexes edged lower after a choppy session on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve showed broad agreement on the need to raise borrowing costs further, cementing investor concerns that had helped cause a major sell-off the week before. The S&P 500 zigzagged furiously between positive and negative territory after the 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT) release of the Fed's September meeting minutes. In defiance of sharp criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, policymakers showed agreement on the September hike and general anticipation that further gradual increases would be consistent with the economic expansion, labour market strength, and firm inflation that most forecast.

US STOCKS-Wall St takes a step back; Fed minutes on deck
U.S. stocks slipped in a choppy session on Wednesday, struggling to sustain a rally from the previous session, as IBM snapped a run of strong blue-chips earnings and disappointing housing data dragged down Home Depot and homebuilders. Helping temper losses was a rise in Netflix on strong subscriber numbers and a 1.33 percent gain in financial stocks ahead of the release of the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting at 2:00 p.m. ET (1800 GMT). Investors have been fretting over the impact of tariffs, rising interest rates and wages on corporate profits and those concerns sparked a selloff last week.

Arms Index suggests investors exhibiting buy-on-dip characteristics
The broader stock market is declining, but the Arms Index, a volume-weighted breadth measure, suggests the market is exhibiting buy-on-dip characteristics. The Arms Indexes for both the NYSE and Nasdaq are declining below 1.000, which usually occurs when the broader market is rising, as average volume in stocks gaining ground is higher than the average volume stocks that are declining. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 47 points and the Nasdaq Composite is slipping 0.2%, while the S&P 500 is little changed. The number of advancing stocks is outnumbering decliners by 1.74 to 1 on the NYSE and by 1.65 to 1 on the Nasdaq, but the volume in decliners is above volume in advancers by just 1.10 on the NYSE and by only 1.02 to 1 on the Nasdaq. The NYSE Arms Index is 0.639 and the Nasdaq Arms is at 0.636.
