Investors are widely expecting the Fed to announce a 50 basis point interest rate hike after its last meeting of the year concludes on Wednesday.
That would be a slight reduction compared with those after the central bank's last four meetings, which each saw rates being hiked by 75 basis points. The pace had prompted investor concerns that the Fed's policy would lead the U.S. economy into a recession.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is also due to give a press conference after the meeting ends. Investors are hoping to receive guidance on monetary policy and the central bank's assessment of inflation and the state of the wider U.S. economy. Consumer price index data released on Tuesday indicated that inflationary pressures are easing. Prices rose by 0.1% in November from October and by 7.1% on a yearly basis. Both figures came in lower than economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected.
