U.S. stocks struggled for direction after two days of declines, as surging oil prices lifted energy producers while chipmakers dragged tech shares lower. Treasuries fell as the Federal Reserve started its two-day policy meeting. The tech-heavy Nasdaq lagged behind other gauges as Facebook Inc. fell after Instagram's founders said they were leaving the company, while energy stocks helped lift broader gauges. Benchmark Treasury yields touched 3.1 percent, and oil traded at a four-year high. Core European bonds slipped with Treasuries, but Italian notes rallied as the country crept closer to a budget proposal. The dollar drifted lower. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index headed for its seventh gain in eight days, and Japanese equities rose to the highest since January.
