The Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates at 2 p.m. ET, followed by a press conference with Chairman Jerome Powell.
It’s widely expected that the Fed will cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point. This first cut in more than a decade. Attention will then shift to what Powell has to say about the path forward.
This morning, U.S. stock futures point higher ahead of news from the Fed.
The Dow is set to rise about 70 points, or +0.3%, when markets open. The S&P 500 is poised to increase +0.2%, while the Nasdaq is tracking up +0.4%.
European markets, meanwhile, are more of a mix. Britain’s FTSE 100 fell -0.3% in early trading, while Germany’s DAX gained +0.1%.
Stocks in Asia fell on concerns about trade as negotiations between Washington and Beijing continue. U.S. and Chinese trade representatives are meeting in Shanghai starting today, though the market doesn’t have high hopes for the outcome. President Donald Trump tweeted earlier that China was doing “very badly” and wasn’t buying the US agricultural products it promised to buy. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped -1.3% and Japan’s Nikkei shed -0.9%.
