Stocks are closing lower on Wall Street as negotiations continue to drag on in Washington over delivering more aid for the economy.

The S&P 500 lost 0.2% Wednesday after spending much of the day wobbling between gains and losses.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she’s made progress with the White House on more economic stimulus, and she hopes discussions will continue.

Stocks of social media companies rose after Snap reported even bigger jumps in revenue and in the number of Snapchatters than analysts expected.
