Markets Brace for Fed Meeting: US Stocks in Decline, Microsoft Gears Up for 2023's Worst Day
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stock futures indicate a shaky start on Wednesday due to mixed tech earnings and anticipation of the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Positive consumer confidence data led to a mostly higher close on Tuesday, with the Dow Industrials extending its winning streak to 12 sessions. Analyst John Lynch expects the Fed to adopt a 'wait-and-see' approach on additional rate increases. In premarket trading, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and the Invesco QQQ ETF fell. Snap shares plummeted about 20% after issuing lackluster guidance, while Microsoft fell about 3.70% and Alphabet rose 6.64% in reaction to their respective quarterly results.
