US Market Wrap
Globally, traders are bracing for a third consecutive Fed rate cut on Wednesday, with focus on the central bank’s dot plot, updated economic projections, and remarks from Chair Jerome Powell. Market volatility around Fed decisions has dominated equity trading over the past six weeks, overshadowing concerns about a potential AI bubble and the impact of President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
Asian Market Wrap
Asian equities edged higher on Wednesday after a muted Wall Street session, as investors awaited signals on the Federal Reserve’s policy stance ahead of its final interest-rate decision of the year.
Benchmark indexes in Japan and South Korea posted gains, while attention in Asia turned to the yen following comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, who said the central bank is nearing its inflation target — reinforcing expectations of a possible rate hike at next week’s policy meeting.
Commodity Check
In commodities, silver extended its rally after breaching $60 an ounce for the first time on Tuesday, driven by bets on further Fed easing and persistent supply tightness. The metal climbed to a record $60.9213 an ounce on Wednesday, building on a 4.3% surge in the previous session.
Gold also edged higher as traders awaited the Fed’s near-certain rate cut and guidance on monetary policy for 2026.
Meanwhile, oil prices held near their biggest two-day drop in a month, pressured by concerns over global oversupply. Brent crude hovered around $62 a barrel after losing 3% over the past two sessions, while West Texas Intermediate traded above $58.
