Wall Street took a breather from a month-long rally

Dow closed negative

 Wall Street took a breather from a month-long rally on Wednesday, with investors bracing for higher volatility going forward as the best quarter in a year nears its end.
The S&P 500 is up 9.1 percent in September, traditionally a weak month for stocks, as investors anticipate the Federal Reserve will take extra steps to spur economic activity.
