Markets Go Negative
Earlier, stocks were up. Now, they're down.
The release of the FOMC's October policy statement from the Federal Reserve at 2 PM ET is the big event of the day.
Ahead of the release, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are both 0.3% lower, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.2%.
Meanwhile, 10-year U.S. Treasury futures are up 0.2%, and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note is 2.48%, two basis points lower from yesterday's close.
