S&P 500, Nasdaq hold major support, rally modestly amid crude-oil breakout

U.S. stocks are mixed early Wednesday, treading water ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy directive and amid a stealth crude-oil price technical breakout. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have maintained notable support — S&P 2,695, and the Nasdaq’s 50-day moving average — though each remains capped by near-term resistance.

Home-builder ETFs rally as existing-home sales rebound

Exchange-traded funds that track the home-building sector rallied on Wednesday, as existing-home sales snapped a two-month losing streak. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF rose 1% while the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF jumped 1.4%. The PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio rose 0.7%. The rise came as data showed sales of previously-owned homes jumped 3% in January, and the rate was higher than 2017's full year total of 5.51 million. Among specific stocks, D.R. Horton rose 2.8% while Beazer Homes USA Inc. was up 2.9% and PulteGroup Inc. rose 2.3%. Toll Brothers Inc. gained 2.1%. All easily outperformed the broader market; the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.1% while the S&P 500 was up 0.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.2%.

United Tech's Kidde recalls 425,000 sensor smoke alarms due to risk of failure

United Technologies Corp.'s Kidde unit said Wednesday it is recalling 425,000 sensor smoke alarms, because of the risk that they will fail to alert their owners to a fire. "A yellow cap left on during the manufacturing process can cover one of the two smoke sensors and compromise the smoke alarm's ability to detect smoke, posing a risk of consumers not being alerted to a fire in their home," the company warned in a statement. Customers are advised to remove the alarm and check whether a yellow cap is visible through the opening on the side. They are advised not to take the alarm apart or attempt to remove the yellow cap themselves, but rather to immediately contact the company and request a replacement. Kidde has set up a toll-free number at 833-551-7739 that will be available from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the weekend. An additional 40,000 units were sold in Canada, the company said. The units in question were sold at stores from Sep. 10, 2016 through Oct. 13, 2017, including Menards, The Home Depot Walmart . They were sold on ShopKidde.com and other websites through Jan. 2018 for $20 to $40 a piece. United Tech shares were slightly lower Wednesday, but have gained 13% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 16% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 19%.

Stock market opens little changed as investors brace for Fed; Facebook's stock trades lower a 3rd session in a row

U.S. stock-indexes traded slightly weaker at the open on Wednesday, with traders hesitant to make any big moves ahead of the end of an important policy update from the Federal Reserve due at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. The Fed is widely expected to deliver a rate rise, and its forecasts could give investors clues to the pace of future increases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average [: DJIA] was trading flat at 24,727, the S&P 500 index retreated about 2 points or less than 0.1% at 2,715. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index declined 12 points, or 0.1, at 7,354. Meanwhile, Facebook Inc. was trading lower, down 1.5%, for a third straight day amid mounting concerns about how the social network has managed user data. The co-founder of WhatsApp, Brian Acton, said late Tuesday it was now time to delete Facebook because of its failures to guard user information. Facebook has shed about $50 billion in market value this week alone.
