U.S. stocks struggled to take flight Wednesday as investors assessed a batch of economic data and testimony from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, who repeated her plan to raise rates for the first time in nearly a decade sometime this year. The S&P 500 was marginally higher at 2,110, or up 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was switching between gains and losses, but mostly flat at 18,053, and the Nasdaq Composite began the day nearly 8 points higher at 5,112, up 0.1%.
