U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Wednesday after posting back-to-back losses as investors weighed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s latest comments on the prospect of further interest-rate hikes this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.35% was off 150 points, or 0.5%, to 33,906. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.47% shed 0.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.85% dropped 0.4%.

However, he did not shed any new light on the timing of the moves. “Nearly all FOMC participants expect that it will be appropriate to raise interest rates somewhat further by the end of the year,” Powell said, in testimony prepared for delivery to the House Financial Service Committee on Wednesday.
