The S&P 500 ended marginally higher on Wednesday after Federal Reserve policymakers cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, as expected, but gave mixed signals about their next move.

Stocks sold off immediately after the Fed’s announcement but rebounded during Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference.
