S&P 500 falls for seventh straight session

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 ended lower on Wednesday for a seventh straight session, its longest such streak in five years, as the Federal Reserve signaled it could hike interest rates in December and the uncertain U.S. election continued to cloud the market's outlook. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 76.91 points, or 0.43 percent, to 17,960.19, the S&P 500 lost 13.76 points, or 0.65 percent, to 2,097.96 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 48.01 points, or 0.93 percent, to 5,105.5
