Dow Jones Falls 500 Points as Stocks Extend Losses in Final Hour of Trading

U.S. stocks extended their decline in the final hour of trading Wednesday after the Federal Reserve signaled it plans to cut interest rates next year more slowly than policymakers had previously considered.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 500 points, or 1.1%, to trade near its session low of 42,926, according to FactSet data.

The S&P 500 lost 1.3%, to around 5,972.

The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.6% to 19,794.
