NEW YORK (Reuters) -U.S. stocks ended little changed on Thursday, giving up an initial rebound from a sharp drop in the prior session after the Federal Reserve forecast fewer-than-expected interest rate cuts and higher inflation next year. Economic data was in sync with the Fed's view, with weekly initial jobless claims falling more than expected while gross domestic product for the third quarter was revised to show a 3.1% increase from the previously reported 2.8% pace. "It clearly sent a message that rates weren't going to keep going down if inflation didn't continue its decline, and we've seen inflation tick up a bit here, and that's a concern to the Fed," said Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder in New York.
