Overnight Recap
Fed Day has arrived. The FOMC delivers its rate decision at 2:00 PM ET, with markets pricing a 97% probability of a hold at 3.50%–3.75%. The real event is Chair Kevin Warsh's first post-meeting press conference at 2:30 PM ET — a BofA survey found 55% of respondents expect him to strike a hawkish tone, and futures markets have already started pricing in possible hikes later this year rather than cuts.
Oil tumbles on Iran deal. A U.S.-Iran agreement to end the blockade on Iran's oil exports and reopen the Strait of Hormuz sent crude to its lowest level since mid-April. Markets overseas surged overnight on the news, and that tech-led optimism carried into U.S. futures.
Mixed economic signals. Soft factory data renewed growth concerns even as the 10-year Treasury yield held steady near 4.47%. Traders are staying cautious ahead of the Fed's updated Summary of Economic Projections, due alongside today's rate decision.
