Wall Street's rally stalls as US stocks head for their 1st loss in 4 days

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s rally is stalling on Wednesday after U.S. stocks climbed back within 2% of their all-time high.

The S&P 500 was 0.4% lower in late trading and on track for its first drop in four days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 45 points, or 0.1%, with roughly an hour remaining in trading, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.6% lower.
