U.S. stock-index futures were slightly higher early Wednesday, with traders in no mood to be brave ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision and comments, while oil prices retreated further from 10-month highs and Treasury yields also eased from multi-year highs.
“Investors are naturally apprehensive that Wednesday’s FOMC press conference could unleash a push higher in interest rates, and a commensurate sell-off in stocks,” said Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. Thierry Wizman, global FX and interest rates strategist at Macquarie, said the spike in oil prices should make the FOMC “more reluctant” to signal a dovish disposition.
