U.S. stocks edged higher as Wall Street makes few big moves in advance of the Federal Reserve’s next meeting on interest rates.
The S&P 500 closed virtually unchanged Monday. The Dow inched up 6 points, and the Nasdaq composite was also little changed. Stocks have been see-sawing since early August on uncertainty about whether the Fed is finally done with its drastic hikes to interest rates.
On Monday:
The S&P 500 rose 3.21 points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,453.53.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 6.06 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 34,624.30.
The Nasdaq composite rose 1.90 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 13,710.24.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 12.73 points, or 0.7 percent to 1,834.30.
For the year:
The S&P 500 is up 614.03 points, or 16 percent.
The Dow is up 1,477.05 points, or 4.5 percent.
The Nasdaq is up 3,243.75 points, or 31 percent.
