Stocks waver ahead of Federal Reserve decisions

Traders avoid big moves as they wait to see if Fed will restart bond buying program

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors held back from making big moves in the stock market Tuesday as they waited to see if the Federal Reserve might take new actions to stimulate the economy.

The uncertainty has put a big September rally on hold before the central bank's meeting wraps up Tuesday afternoon.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 4.85, or 0.1 percent, to 10.748.77 in morning trading, a day after closing at a four-month high. The Dow has risen 12 of the past 14 days and is up more than 7 percent for the month.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index slid 1.11, or 0.1 percent, to 1,141.60, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 4.70, or 0.2 percent, to 2,351.13.

Stocks have rallied throughout the month on signs that the economy continues to grow, even though the expansion remains sluggish. In the latest positive signal, the Commerce Department reported that home construction rose last month to the highest level since April.
