NEW YORK, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Wall Street seesawed on Thursday, dragged down late in the day by technology and financial stocks, while the dollar and the U.S. yield curve flattened in the wake of U.S. Federal Reserve news.
The Fed released minutes of its latest policy meeting, with almost all of its officials agreeing that another interest rate increase was "likely to be warranted fairly soon," but also opening debate on when to pause further hikes and how to relay those plans to the public. stocks had opened lower amid jitters over U.S.-China trade talks. They recovered into positive territory after the Fed minutes but turned negative again late in the day. .N

Other stock markets were broadly higher. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS gained 0.29 percent.

On Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell had said U.S. interest rates were "just below" neutral, less than two months after saying rates were probably "a long way" from that point. Many investors read the remarks as signalling the Fed's three-year tightening cycle was drawing to a close.
His comments briefly pushed the U.S. 10-year bond yield US10YT=RR below 3 percent, its lowest since mid-September.
The yield, which had risen as high as 3.25 percent this month, inched back to 3.0316 percent.
Investors will watch a meeting at which U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to discuss trade at the G20 summit on Saturday.
Trump said there was "a long way to go" on tariffs with China and urged companies to build products in the United States to avoid them. messaging from the U.S. over the last four weeks has been characteristically erratic," said David Page, senior economist at AXA Investment Managers.

The dollar index .DXY , tracking it against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.01 percent, with the euro EUR= up 0.22 percent to $1.1391.
