U.S. Stock Markets Mixed Ahead of Fed Meeting Amid SpaceX IPO and Iran AgreementPreviousNext

U.S. stock markets showed mixed futures ahead of the Federal Reserve's first policy meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh, with investors focusing on inflation outlook and interest rate guidance. The recent rally in tech stocks, including SpaceX's strong IPO debut, contributed to market optimism. Additionally, a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement easing tensions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz led to a drop in crude oil prices, which may ease inflation concerns and influence Fed decisions.
