Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures rise modestly ahead of the Federal Reserve’s first policy decision under Chairman Kevin Warsh.
U.S. stock index futures climbed early Wednesday as investors positioned for Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s inaugural policy announcement. Nasdaq 100 futures led gains, up 0.71%, while S&P 500 futures rose 0.28%. Dow futures showed muted movement ahead of the decision.
The Fed’s announcement follows a period of heightened market sensitivity to monetary policy shifts. Traders are assessing potential signals on interest rate trajectories and economic outlook, with no prior guidance from Warsh’s tenure for comparison.
Equity markets remained cautious, reflecting uncertainty over the Fed’s stance amid recent inflation data and economic resilience.
