NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2019 / U.S. markets rose for the fourth consecutive session on Wednesday as minutes released from the Federal Reserve's meeting in December showed the Fed would be âpatientâ when it came to interest rate hikes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.39 percent to close at 23,879.12, while the S&P 500 Index rose 0.41 percent to settle at 2,584.96. The Nasdaq Composite Index surged 0.87 percent to close at 6,957.08.
"All the minutes are doing is confirming what they had already hinted at," said Larry McDonald, editor of The Bear Traps Report. "The Fed speak before the minutes was like a fire hose to calm down the markets."
