Market News:
The S&P 500 closed lower Monday as
traders opted for caution ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting, which
is widely expected to deliver an interest-rate cut.
At 4:00 p.m. ET (20:00 GMT), the Dow
Jones Industrial Average fell 215 points, or 0.5%, while the S&P 500 index
slipped 0.3%, and the NASDAQ Composite fell 0.1%
All three major U.S. stock indexes
recorded positive weeks last week, their second in a row.
Caution ahead of Fed decision
This positive tone exists as many
investors expect the Fed to ease monetary policy on Wednesday, especially after
the delayed release of September’s core personal consumption expenditures price
index — the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — came in softer than expected at
the end of last week.
That cooler inflation reading, combined
with signs of a softening labor market and fragile
consumer spending, has reinforced the case for the Fed to provide more policy
support.
There’s little in the way of economic data
to change the narrative Monday, although Tuesday’s JOLTS job openings data
could take on additional importance given the monthly official jobs report is
now being released after the Fed meeting.
Fed funds futures are pricing in a
roughly 88% chance of a Fed cut, according to CME’s FedWatch
tool.
The language used by the Fed officials,
especially in the post-meeting statement and the projections for 2026, will be
closely watched.
"The key question is what will the
Fed signal for next year, given that we will be getting a new forecast update
from them," ING analysts said in a note.
"As such, the most dovish they
could possibly be is to put a second rate cut for their 2026 forecast, but they
will be reluctant," they added.

Netflix-Paramount deal takes a twist as
Paramount Skydance launches rival bid
Corporate earnings are also set to play
a role in market direction, with results due from the likes of Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU), Costco (NASDAQ:COST),
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), and Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) this
week.
Ahead of Broadcom’s results, The
Information reported on Friday that Microsoft was in discussions about
switching the design of its custom chips to Broadcom from Marvell Technology
Inc (NASDAQ:MRVL).
Separately, S&P Global said Carvana Co (NYSE:CVNA), CRH PLC (NYSE:CRH), and
Comfort Systems (NYSE:FIX) will join the S&P 500 index on Dec. 22, a
change that typically sparks repositioning among index-tracking funds.
Elsewhere, International Business
Machines (NYSE:IBM) announced Monday that it will acquire Confluent
(NASDAQ:CFLT) for $31 per share in cash, representing an enterprise value
of $11 billion.
Netflix’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) $72 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros Discovery
(NASDAQ:WBD) is also still in the spotlight after Paramount launched a rival
bid for Warner Bros.
The move from Paramount comes on the
heels of President Donald Trump wining that a Netflix-Warner Bros tie up
"could be a problem," sparking concerns about regulatory approval
headwinds. The president, however, weighed in further on the topic on Monday,
saying he would have to see "what percentage of market [share]"
Netflix or Paramount Skydance have to evaluate
whether a merger would pose antitrust issues.
