- Asian markets made shaky gains ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, while oil prices slipped, according to Reuters.
- US stock futures edged higher and stocks and bonds halted a prior slide before the Fed rate call, per CNBC and Bloomberg headlines.
Why it matters: Investors were positioned around the Fed's signal: the prior slide in stocks and bonds paused as Asian equities edged up, while oil's separate decline suggested traders read demand expectations independently of the rate outlook.
