Markets Hold Their Breath Ahead of Federal Reserve Decision

Stock Market Updates in Real-Time

Stocks are showing mixed results today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 making small gains, while the Nasdaq Composite is experiencing losses. This comes as investors wait for the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates, which is expected to include a rate cut.

Federal Reserve Decision Looms

Fed funds futures traders believe there is a 91% chance of a rate cut, and they will be watching to see how many officials disagree with this decision.

The industrials sector is performing the best ahead of the decision, while tech stocks are struggling. The value of the US dollar, gold, crude oil, and bitcoin have all decreased today. The 10-year Treasury yield has also dropped to 4.17%.
