US Stocks Poised For Lower Open As Fed Jitters Dampen Tech Hopes; Oil Rally Pauses, Bitcoin Slides 8%
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stock futures indicate a lower opening due to Fed meeting concerns and the Bank of Japan's policy shift. Tech stocks like Nvidia and Apple had previously boosted the market, but pre-Fed jitters and a lack of major catalysts are dampening sentiment. Nvidia, AMD, and Synopsys saw notable premarket movements, while Coinbase and Robinhood dropped with Bitcoin. Fusion Pharmaceuticals surged on an AstraZeneca buyout deal. Oil paused its rally, and global markets showed mixed responses.
