Major U.S. stock-indexes were slightly lower on Wednesday as investors awaited a key report by the Federal Reserve to gauge the health of the U.S. economy. Investors will wait until they get more clarity on presidential elections, the quality of third-quarter earnings and the timing of the next rate hike, Courtney said. While the Fed has been hinting at higher rates in the near-term, a recent set of weak economic data, including last week's jobs numbers, have muddied the outlook.
