The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision drops today—and markets are on edge. Dow futures are slightly up while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are flat to negative as traders wait for the Fed’s first rate cut since December 2024.
Analysts expect a 25-basis point reduction, with 70% odds of two more cuts before year-end. But the key is Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s tone—will he signal confidence in the economy or warn of employment risks? Either way, today could spark new highs or trigger a sell-the-news pullback.
Watch this video to see why this decision matters for YOU and how traders are positioning right now.
