NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Here are the top 4 talking points:
1. Markets step back: The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq were all lower in morning trading. The Dow is down around 75 points (0.45%). It is back below the 16,900 level. Many are waiting for the Dow to break 17,000 for the first time.
U.S. stocks barely budged yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average made slight gains Tuesday and marked its fourth consecutive record close (at 16,945.92).The Nasdaq also finished with a narrow gain, but the S&P 500 saw its five-day winning streak come to an end, finishing flat.
Today's setback could be driven by the World Bank lowering its Global Economic Outlook for 2014. In a week without much new data, investors are looking for ways to gauge the pulse of the economy.
