US stocks were back in retreat mode on Wednesday, as markets resist a push higher to their all-time highs.
Six minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 61.89 points (0.44 per cent) lower at 13,917.41.
The S&P 500 index dropped 5.91 (0.39 per cent) to 1505.38, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite dropped 10.6 points (0.33) to 3160.98
Wednesday's trading showed the market continues to trade erratically. Recent trading has seen large double or triple-digit moves alternate in the Dow Jones index since the index breached 14,000 last Friday.
