Excerpt:

The Dow Jones industrial average was up nearly 0.2%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both added about 0.1%. The tepid trading came as investors returned from the Christmas holiday. U.S. markets were closed Tuesday and Monday was an abbreviated trading day. Market bulls have pulled in their horns as President Obama and Congress have been unable to agree on a plan to avert tax hikes and spending cuts from kicking in automatically on Jan. 1. The bears have become increasingly convinced that Washington will fail to resolve a self-inflicted crisis that could tip the economy into recession. Those in the middle are betting on a short-term compromise that prevents the worst and delays more difficult decisions to later in the year. "Any kind of deal will be good for the market," said Ryan Larson, head of U.S. equity trading for RBC Global Asset Management.
