US stocks were mixed in cautious trading on Wednesday as investors waited to find out whether the Federal Reserve has shifted its view on how many interest-rate cuts could come this year.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.2%.

That uncertainty could weigh on stocks, and on the broadening of the recent rally. Bonds could also come under pressure after the Fed statement at 2 p.m. ET. Yields on the 10-year Treasury were slightly lower at around 4.28%, after rising over 20 basis points in the past two weeks.
