ByMarleyJay TheAssociatedPress NEWYORK U.S.stocksrose Wednesday after the Fed- eral Reserve left its key in- terest rate unchanged, as investors expected. Energy companies climbed again as the price of oil came close to a six-month high. Tech- nology stocks were battered following weak results from Apple and Twitter. Stocks opened mostly lower in muted early trad- ing, but they moved higher after the Fed released its decision on interest rates. Bond yields fell and inves- tors bought high-dividend phone and utility compa- nies instead. Thanks to the losses for tech stocks, the Nasdaq composite index fell for the fifth day in a row. Investors didn't ex- pect the Fed to raise inter- est rates this month, and they're starting to think that interest rates won't go up in June, the Fed's next meeting, either. But David Kelly, chief global strategist JPMorgan Chase, said that might be a problem because the Fed didn't make its in- tentions clear on Wednes- day. "There's nothing in this to tell us when the next rate hike is going to be," Kelly said. He thinks the market will react badly if the Fed raises interest rates with- out advising investors that it's coming. "What they can't do is just coast into the June meeting having not given anybody any indication at all," Kelly said. The Dow Jones industrial average picked up 51.23 points, or 0.3 percent, to 18,041.55. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 3.45 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,095.15. The Nasdaq com- posite index dropped 25.14 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,863.14. The Federal Reserve notedthat economic growth in the U.S. has slowed down over the last month, but the job market is getting stron- ger. While the Fed also said the global economy slowed, its statement suggests it is becoming less concerned about the effects of the slowing global economy on the U.S. Bond prices were ris- ing before the Fed's an- nouncement and moved even higher after its state- ment was released. Higher prices mean lower yields, and the yield on the 10- year U.S. Treasury note fell to 1.86 percent from 1.93 percent. Lower bond yields made telecommunications and utility stocks more ap- pealing to investors seeking income. Verizon Communi- cations gained $1.25, or 2.5 percent, to $51.69. NRG En- ergy added 43 cents, or 3 percent, to $14.98. The price of crude oil started with big gains, turned lower, and then bounced back. It wound up at its highest price since early December. Bench- mark U.S. crude oil rose $1.29, or 2.9 percent, to close at $45.33 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, the international standard, added $1.44, or 3.1 percent, to $47.18 a barrel in Lon- don. Among energy stocks, Anadarko Petroleum added $2.42, or 4.6 percent, to $54.78 and Diamond Off- shore Drilling gained 98 cents, or 4.1 percent, to $24.63. Tech stocks fell after Ap- ple, the most valuable pub- lic company in the world, said iPhone sales declined in the first quarter. That hadn't happened since iPhones went on sale in 2007. Apple also reported its first decline in quar- terly revenue since 2003 and forecast similar results in the current quarter. Its stock skidded $6.53, or 6.3 percent, to $97.82. Microblogging site Twit- ter dropped $2.89, or 16.3 percent, to $14.86 after its first-quarter revenue fell short of expectations and its outlook disappointed in- vestors. Its stock has fallen 71 percent in the last year. Earnings reports were responsible for much of the day's action. Aerospace gi- ant Boeing was the biggest gainer on the Dow aver- age. The company reported mixed first-quarter results, with weaker-than-expected earnings but strong sales. The stock rose $3.84, or 2.9 percent, to $137.08. Medical device maker Boston Scientific climbed to its highest price in 10 years after it after it swung to a profit in the first quar- ter, with earnings and sales that were better than ex- pected. It also raised its projections for the year. The stock gained $2.20, or 11.2 percent, to $21.89. Buffalo Wild Wings tum- bled $15.62, or 10.8 percent, to $129 after the chain's sales fell short of analyst projections. Chipotle Mexi- can Grill fell $28.70, or 6.4 percent, to $417.22. Chipo- tle posted its first loss as a public company as sales plunged following an E. coli outbreak and Norovi- rus scare. Tax preparer H&R Block slumped $3.23, or 13.6 per- cent, to $20.59 after the company said it handled fewer returns this year than it did in 2015 and an- nounced a series of execu- tive changes. DreamWorks Anima- tion rocketed $5.08, or 18.7 percent, to $32.20 on re- ports the company behind the "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda" franchises might be acquired by Comcast. Comcast stock rose 2 cents to $61.30.
