U.S. Stocks Lower Again Hit by Fed Uncertainty

U.S. stocks fell for a sixth session in seven on Tuesday, after another day of gyrations as equities tracked the price of oil and pondered the impact of lower energy costs and Russia’s economic troubles on policy decisions by the Federal Reserve.

Wall Street hears from the Fed on Wednesday, with the central bank gathering to consider the timing and size of interest-rate hikes and whether to reiterate its vow to maintain rates low for a considerable period.

“It’s becoming clearer and clearer to them that they are way behind schedule. Every central bank wants to engineer a soft landing, but we’re at 30,000 feet and a mile away from the runway,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
