The Dow Jones today opened flat as the nation's central bankers gathered in Jackson Hole, Wyo., for an annual economy symposium. Kansas City Federal Reserve President Ester George stated this morning that she believed two additional interest rate hikes would be appropriate in 2018, rebuffing calls from the White House to ease the pace of interest rate increases.

George also stated that she believes "several more" rate hikes would be appropriate next year. Tomorrow, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will address attendees in a speech. The meeting comes just a day after the U.S. stock market celebrated its longest bull run in U.S. history.

Here are the numbers from Wednesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 25,733.60 -88.69 -0.34%
S&P 500 7,889.10 29.92Ā Ā  0.38%
Nasdaq 2,861.82 -1.14Ā Ā Ā  -0.04%
