The central bank is broadly anticipated to keep interest rates unchanged, but investors will scan the dot plot for insight into when cuts are coming.
U.S. stock futures were little changed Tuesday night following a winning day for the major averages, as investors awaited the latest Federal Reserve policy decision.Recent weakness in tech stocks has had some investors deliberating whether the artificial intelligence rally is slowing, as other parts of the market gain traction.
"All else equal, it's not a bad thing to see this rotation and churn happening under the surface," Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, said on CNBC's"Closing Bell.""I think it is sending a message about economic resilience, and that's why there's more of a cyclical bias to what has been working."The Fed is broadly anticipated to keep interest rates unchanged at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday.
Some are concerned a recent spate of hot inflation reports could result in even fewer cuts than markets are anticipating."The dot plot could show that we've taken yet another cut out of what have been three," Sonders said."The question, though, is at what point does it hit the market, given we've had this market resilience. I think ultimately, it's not just about the Fed reaction function, but the sustainability of the economic growth profile.
