The Nasdaq Composite dropped 23.15 points, or 0.33%, to 6,889.21.
Oil futures pulled back further on Wednesday after an American Petroleum Institute release indicated a surprise increase in U.S. crude supplies. January West Texas Intermediate crude fell by 44 cents, or 0.8%, to $57.55 a barrel. January Brent dropped 62 cents, or 1%, to $62.62 a barrel.
The U.S. economy’s pace of growth in the third quarter was raised to 3.3% from 3% under the government’s latest revision to gross domestic product.
