What Wall Street is Talking About: Fed's Decision and Market Volatility

Hello readers,

As we eagerly await the Federal Reserve's decision, the market is experiencing significant volatility. The Fed is set to deliberate on Wednesday, with the possibility of a rate cut in September looming. Investors are closely watching for any indication of the Fed's stance on rates for the rest of the year.

The week's earnings calendar has been eventful, with notable movements in the market. Merck & Co. and Procter & Gamble have been in the spotlight, impacting the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index.

While the Dow managed to add 203 points, the S&P 500 index slipped 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite experienced a 1.3% decline. CrowdStrike's performance, in particular, has been closely monitored following a global outage triggered by a software upgrade.
