U.S. stock futures edge higher ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision and Kevin Warsh’s first press conference as chair.
U.S. stock futures showed mixed movement early Wednesday, with Dow Jones futures flat while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures rose modestly. The Federal Reserve is set to conclude its two-day policy meeting, with new Chair Kevin Warsh delivering his first post-meeting press conference later in the day.
The stock market closed mixed in the previous session, with the Nasdaq leading a decline while blue-chip stocks and SpaceX outperformed. Investors are weighing geopolitical risks after President Donald Trump issued new threats against Iran, though aerospace stocks remained resilient.
Market focus remains on the Fed’s policy outlook, with traders assessing potential shifts in monetary stance under Warsh’s leadership. Futures suggest cautious optimism ahead of the announcement.
