3M was the biggest decliner, falling 5.7%. The American conglomerate has major facilities in Decatur and Guin.

Amazon and WestRock propped up the top of the table, picking up 2.6% and 2.2%, respectively.

Overall, Wall Street churned to a mixed finish on Wednesday after a highly anticipated report showed inflation accelerated across the country last month, but not by much more than expected.
