Stocks Edge Higher After Fed Minutes

U.S. stocks rose slightly after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting shed little light on when the central bank might next raise interest rates.

The minutes showed Fed officials are seeking to keep their options open, with some of them wanting a rate increase but others pushing for more information.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 21.92 points, or 0.1%, to 18573.94, reversing earlier losses. The S&P 500 added 4.07 points, or 0.2%, to 2182.22 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.55 points, or less than 0.1%, to 5228.66.

All three indexes are hovering near records, confounding some traders and analysts.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg
