Stock market today: Stock rally loses steam as S&P 500, Dow slip from records

US stocks lost steam on Wednesday after markets hit all-time highs as investors looked to new data for clues to the health of the economy and the chances of another jumbo rate cut. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reversed earlier gains to fall about 0.6%, while the S&P 500 also slipped into negative territory, declining around 0.2% on the heels of record closes for both major indexes. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite hugged the flatline after wavering in the green for most of the session.
