US Stocks End Flat as Investors Assess US Rates Outlook

US stocks ended little changed on Wednesday, though the Nasdaq eked out another record high close, as investors assessed the outlook for US interest rates. 
Investors have been weighing the likelihood of a rate hike this month from the Federal Reserve, with recent economic data including last Friday's weaker-than-expected jobs report suggesting the US central bank could hold off for now. 
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was down 11.98 points, or 0.06%, to 18,526.14. 
The S&P 500 .SPX lost 0.33 points, or 0.02%, to 2,186.15, The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 8.02 points, or 0.15%, to 5,283.93, a record high close.
