MARKETS

Stocks fell on Wednesday, retreating from the record highs set earlier in the day, as tech shares struggled and traders weighed the prospects of new fiscal stimulus. The Dow Jones closed 0.35% and the Nasdaq pulled back by 1.9%. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was among the worst-performing Dow components, falling more than 2%. The overall tech sector came under pressure after DoorDash made its public-market debut.

European markets closed higher as investors monitor Brexit talks; ST Micro fell 12% after the chipmaker said it’s postponing an annual sales target of $12 billion to 2023. Gold and Silver declined sharply as the dollar surged. Bitcoin was weaker but bounced off the $18k level.

The major averages gave back their initial gains after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Politico that Republicans and Democrats were “still looking for a way forward” on additional fiscal aid. Those remarks came after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin pitched Tuesday a $916 billion stimulus package to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
