U.S. stocks
retreated slightly on Thursday as investors paused after the Federal Reserve's
decision to keep its stimulus intact sparked a rally that lifted the Dow and
S&P 500 to record highs.
The Dow Jones
industrial average fell 40.39 points or 0.26 percent, to 15,636.55, the S&P
500 lost 3.18 points or 0.18 percent, to 1,722.34 and the Nasdaq Composite
added 5.743 points or 0.15 percent, to 3,789.384. Major U.S. stock indexes
oscillated between modest gains and losses on the heels of Wednesday's rally,
with the S&P showing a swing of less than 10 points between the high and
low of the session.
