U.S. stocks faltered Wednesday as political wrangling over the fiscal cliff continued to dominate investor sentiment.

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.

In a sign of continued improvement in the housing market, home prices rose at an annual rate of 4.3% in October, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index. It was the biggest rise in home prices in more than 2 years and topped analysts' expectations.
