US stock indexes dipped on Wednesday ahead of a policy announcement by the Federal Reserve later in the day, as the latest readings on inflation solidified bets of a speedier wind-down of the central bank''s pandemic-era monetary stimulus. The US central bank is widely expected to signal a faster end to its bond-buying campaign and a quicker start to raising interest rates at its meeting. The statement will be released at 2 p.m. ET (1900 GMT), followed by Fed chief Jerome Powell''s news conference. Data on Tuesday showed producer prices increased more than expected in the 12 months through November, clocking its largest gain since 2010. Last week''s consumer prices data showed the biggest gain in almost four decades. A Reuters poll of economists is suggesting an interest-rate hike to 0.25-0.50% from near zero in the third quarter of next year, followed by another in the fourth quarter. Six of the 11 major indexes were higher in early trading, with defensive plays such as utilities and real estate taking the lead, signaling a risk-off environment.

Apple has quietly nixed all mentions of CSAM from its Child Safety webpage , suggesting its controversial plan to detect child sexual abuse images on iPhones and iPads may hang in the balance following significant criticism of its methods.

The majority of criticism was leveled at Apple''s planned on-device CSAM detection, which was lambasted by researchers for relying on ineffective and dangerous technology that bordered on surveillance, and derided for being ineffective at identifying images of child sexual abuse.
