Wall Street gave back some of its recent gains Wednesday as uncertainty about interest rates and inflation continued to reign.

The losses followed another mixed set of earnings reports. Chipotle Mexican Grill sank after delivering weaker results for the latest quarter than expected, while disappointing forecasts for upcoming results knocked other stocks lower.

CVS Health climbed after turning in stronger profits than Wall Street had forecast. Treasury yields held relatively steady.

The S&P 500 fell 46.14 points, or 1.1%, to 4,117.86

The Nasdaq composite fell 203.27 points, or 1.7%, to 11,910.52.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 30.01 points, or 1.5%, to 1,942.60.
