The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to make its latest policy decision and raise interest rates 0.25% at 2 p.m. ET today. Chair Jerome Powell will hold a news conference at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, earnings season continues with heavy hitters Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and Starbucks Corp. (Nasdaq: SBUX) beating analyst estimates.
Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq: QCOM) and TripAdvisor Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIP) report earnings after the bell Wednesday, while tech titan Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) reports after the close on Thursday.
