- Stock futures climbed ahead of the market open, signaling Wall Street was on track for a higher open as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's much-anticipated interest rate decision
- Retail sales data was also slated for release alongside the Fed rate call, giving traders a second major economic input to digest during the session
Why it matters: The Fed rate decision anchors the session — any deviation from market expectations on the rate move or forward guidance triggers immediate repricing across equities, while the simultaneous retail sales print compounds the macro surprise risk for an already-cautious tape.
