Stocks gave up their earlier gains Wednesday after the Fed indicated it will keep interest rates lower over the next few years. Here's how the major averages performed: - The Dow rose 38 points. - The S&P 500 fell .46%. - The Nasdaq lost 1.25%.

. "With inflation running persistently below this longer run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2% for some time so that inflation averages 2% over time," the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement. He also added: "With regard to interest rates, we now indicate that we expect it will be appropriate to maintain the current zero to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rates until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the committee's assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2% and is on track to moderately exceed 2% for some time."

Republicans and Democrats have struggled to reach a deal on further stimulus, dwindling hopes of an agreement being struck before the U.S. presidential election in November.
