Stock Futures Slide as 10-Year Yield Holds Above 5% Ahead of Fed Decision
IXIC sits 27% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
U.S. stock futures are retreating Tuesday with the 10-year Treasury yield holding above 5% as investors brace for Wednesday's Fed decision, where a 25bps hike is widely expected—the first since 2023. Nasdaq futures are down 0.48%, Dow futures 0.6%, and S&P futures 0.35%, extending Monday's losses. Oil continues to climb with Brent up 1.8% to $107.59 and WTI up 1.9% to $103.30 on Middle East supply concerns, adding to inflation pressure. European indexes opened lower, and Bitcoin fell 2.1% ahead of a Senate vote on crypto regulation. The combination of higher rates, elevated oil, and geopolitical risk is weighing on equities, with the Fed's tone on future hikes the key near-term catalyst.
