U.S. stocks fell, after a rally Wednesday on the Federal Reserve’s policy statement, as banks retreated and energy companies slumped with the price of oil.

Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley fell more than 1.7 percent. The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index rose 1.9 percent to a record. Apple Inc. slid in its first day in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
