Investors showed unusual caution on Tuesday, leaving U.S. stocks little changed before the potential market tumult of next week's U.S. elections and likely announcement of more stimulus from the Federal Reserve.
Next week's high-profile events could signal shifts in both monetary policy and legislative direction, raising fears that trumped Tuesday's earnings news and economic reports.
"You have a double whammy next week: Election Day and the Fed announcement," said Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at Channel Capital Research.com in Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
