Stocks finished lower for the sixth-consecutive session Wednesday as investors worried over a slowing recovery following Ben Bernanke's grim outlook and after the Fed's latest Beige Book, which showed signs of a slowdown in several regions.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 21.87 points, or 0.18 percent, to finish at 12048.94.
The S&P 500 slipped 5.38 points, or 0.42 percent, to end at 1279.56.
The Dow and the S&P have yet to close higher in June, declining approximately 4 and 5 percent, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq tumbled 26.18 points, or 0.97 percent, to close at 2675.38.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, gained almost 4 percent to close at 18.79.
