Stocks open little changed as investors look for Fed clues
U.S. stocks opened little changed Tuesday as investors awaited further clues on the timing of the next Federal Reserve interest-rate hike, weighing fresh remarks by Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer and looking ahead to August jobs data due at the end of the week. Fischer, in a television interview, said is impossible to say whether the next rate rise would be "one and done." The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged at 2,180.51, while the Dow industrials rose around 1 point to 18,504.02. The Nasdaq Composite rose less than 0.1% to 5,233.30.
