U.S. stocks close higher as eyes turn to Fed statement

U.S. stocks ended modestly higher on Tuesday, in a partial rebound from the previous session's sharp decline. Based on preliminary closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 121 points, or 0.5%, to 24,730. The S&P 500 rose 4 points, or 0.2%, to 2,717. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 20 points to 7,364, a rise of 0.3%. Trading was somewhat subdued as investors turned their focus to an upcoming statement by the Federal Reserve, which is expected to announce an increase in its key interest rate Wednesday afternoon. Energy shares were the biggest gainers of the day, with the sector up 0.9%, advancing alongside a 2.3% increase in the price of U.S. crude futures. On the downside, Facebook Inc. fell 2.6%, extending a sharp decline on Monday that represented its biggest one-day drop in about four years. The social-media giant is down 9.5% on the week amid questions about how it has handled user data.

GE's stock drops toward 8 1/2-year low to pace Dow decliners

Shares of General Electric Co. slumped 2.6% in midday trade Tuesday, to pace the Dow Jones Industrial Average's decliners. The selloff put the stock on track to close at the lowest level since Sept. 3, 2009. Meanwhile, the Dow was up 114 points, or 0.5%. GE's stock has now lost 5.4% since the industrial conglomerate released its 2017 annual report, during which Chief Executive John Flannery warned those who bet against the company's resolve "do so at their own peril." Over the same time, the Dow has lost about 585 points, or 2.3%. Over the past 12 months, GE shares have tumbled 54% while the Dow has gained 18%.

Smartwatch shipments projected to grow by 18% annually over five years, as fitness bands fade: IDC

Research firm IDC said Tuesday that it expected wearables shipments to grow 15.1% this year, led by strong growth in basic trackers as well as continued growth in smartwatches. IDC sees wearables shipments growing at a 13.4% annual rate through 2022, however, as basic trackers grow less popular but watches maintain momentum. "The addition of cellular connectivity is also starting to resonate with early adopters and looking ahead the emergence of new use cases like music streaming or additional health sensors will make cellular connectivity pivotal to the success of the smartwatch," IDC senior research analyst Jitesh Ubrani said in a release. Apple Inc. came out with a cellular-connected smartwatch last year. Fitbit Inc. , meanwhile, recently announced its new Versa smartwatch, which is priced lower than the company's Ionic smartwatch and intended to reach more of a mass audience in the midst of declining interest in basic trackers. IDC projects that basic tracker shipments will grow by just 0.3% annually through 2022, while smartwatch shipments could grow by 17.9%. Apple shares are up 24% over the past 12 months, while Fitbit shares have dropped 8.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average , of which Apple is a component, is up 18%, compared with a 14% gain for the S&P 500 over 12 months.
