24/7 Wall St.

Stocks were directionless on Wednesday ahead of the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates. With the Dow over 17,250 and the S&P 500 at 2,015, the markets are almost flat again for 2016. This means that investors have migrated back from selling every rally to effectively buying every dip. That being said, trading volume has been extremely light this week.
