Financial Market Preview - Wednesday 10-Dec
Description
S&P futures are slightly higher, up +0.1%, as investors await the Fed policy decision later today. Markets are largely pricing in a 25 bps rate cut, though analysts suggest the possibility of a hawkish cut, where the Fed could signal a higher threshold for further rate reductions through adjusted language. Multiple dissents are anticipated, reflecting both hawkish and dovish views within the committee. The dot plot is expected to remain unchanged, indicating 25 bps cuts projected for 2026 and 2027 respectively. Asian equities were mostly softer today, with modest losses seen in Japan, Korea, and Mainland China. European markets are also trading lower, with the German DAX leading losses.
