The three major US stock indices showed varying trends on Wednesday. They reached record highs in early trading, but the rate cut of 0.25% by the Fed as expected and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's refusal to clearly indicate whether rates would be adjusted in December led to a cooling of market expectations for further rate cuts, dragging down the DJIA and S&P 500.
During the session, the S&P 500 approached the 7,000 mark for the first time ever, but it ultimately closed basically flat at 6,890. The DJIA closed down 74 points or 0.2% at 47,632. The Nasdaq closed up 130 points or 0.6% at 23,958.
Achieving a five-day rising streak, Nvidia (NVDA.US) closed up 3.1%. It also became the first US company with a market cap surpassing USD5 trillion.
