WALL STREET ENDS FLAT AS BANKS GAIN
A see-saw session on Wall Street on Monday ended little changed, with gains in big bank stocks offsetting a drag from Apple, as investors braced for the Federal Reserve meeting later this week. The Fed is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at the two-day meeting, but investors will assess Chair Janet Yellen's speech on Wednesday to see if the central bank plans to hike as soon as December. After trading solidly higher during the morning, the benchmark S&P 500 pulled back and slid briefly into negative territory.
