Wall Street ends little changed on inflation skittishness

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks finished little changed on Wednesday as indexes gave up early gains after the Federal Reserve said it sees inflation rising this year, signalling it remains on track to boost interest rates again in March.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 72.57 points, or 0.28 percent, to 26,149.46, the S&P 500 gained 1.4 points, or 0.05 percent, to 2,823.83 and the Nasdaq Composite added 9.00 points, or 0.12 percent, to 7,411.48.
