US equities edge higher ahead of Fed decision; energy lags
InfoMoney·US·about 14 hours ago
US equities sold off sharply after the Federal Reserve's policy decision, with the Dow falling more than 600 points. The energy sector is cited as a heavyweight drag on the S&P 500, suggesting a risk-off reaction to the Fed's stance. The exact nature of the Fed's decision (hike, hold, or guidance) is not specified, but the market move indicates a hawkish surprise or disappointment.
