Stocks rose during Wednesday's session as market participants digested a series of tweets written by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, with the president ultimately calling for Congress to pass more direct payments and economic stimulus for the airline sector. However, Trump has rejected the new modified HEROES Act bill that was recently passed by the House of Representatives, arguing that the price tag was too high.

The Federal Reserve released the Federal Open Market Committee minutes from its Sept. 15-16 meeting on Wednesday, with committee members demonstrating concern for the ongoing strength of the U.S. economic recovery. FOMC participants called for more stimulus for the economy to recover smoothly, with the meeting's minutes reading: "Indeed, many participants noted that their economic outlook assumed additional fiscal support and that if future fiscal support was significantly smaller or arrived significantly later than they expected, the pace of the recovery could be slower than anticipated."
