*U.S. equities remained under pressure, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling around 0.5%–0.6%, while the Dow declined approximately 0.3%, as early recovery attempts failed to gain traction.
*Traders are positioning ahead of Wednesday’s Fed meeting, with over 90% probability of a 25bp rate hike. Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has climbed toward 5%, its highest level since late 2023, adding pressure to risk assets.
*A confirmed hike accompanied by hawkish forward guidance could reinforce higher-for-longer rate expectations and extend downside pressure on equities.
Wall Street attempted to reverse its recent selling trend in the previous session but ultimately closed lower, underscoring the persistence of risk-off sentiment across U.S. equity markets. The major indexes finished in negative territory, with the S&P 500 declining approximately 0.5 percent, the Nasdaq Composite falling around 0.5 to 0.6 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting a more modest loss near 0.3 percent. The inability to sustain early recovery efforts highlighted ongoing caution among investors as macroeconomic pressures continued to weigh on risk appetite.
Trading is expected to remain relatively quiet in the near term as market participants await the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision on Wednesday. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate increase stands above 90 percent. This anticipation has already been reflected in the fixed-income market, where the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to near the 5 percent level, marking its highest point since late 2023. Elevated yields reduce the relative attractiveness of equities and raise borrowing costs, contributing to the cautious backdrop.
The prevailing sentiment is likely to maintain downside pressure on the equity market in the short term. A confirmed rate hike, particularly if accompanied by hawkish guidance on the future policy path, could reinforce higher-for-longer interest rate expectations and prompt further selling. Until greater clarity emerges from the Federal Reserve’s statement and subsequent communications, major indexes may continue to edge lower or trade within a narrow range as investors remain positioned defensively.
The Dow has broken below its long-term uptrend trendline, marking a significant structural break and suggesting a long-term bearish tilt for the index. The breakdown indicates that the previous bullish trajectory has weakened, with selling pressure gaining greater control over the Dow.
The index is now hovering above its immediate support level at 52,261.75, which has become the key level to watch in the near term. Should the Dow fail to hold above this support and break decisively below 52,261.75, it would further justify the bearish bias and could trigger another round of selling pressure.
Conversely, a rebound from 52,261.75 could provide some short-term relief, although the broader outlook would remain cautious as long as the Dow continues to trade below its long-term uptrend trendline.
Overall, the Dow has shifted toward a more bearish structure following the break below its long-term uptrend trendline. 52,261.75 is now the critical support level, with a sustained break below it likely to strengthen the bearish outlook and expose the index to further downside.
Resistance Levels: 53,295.65, 54,485.00
Support Levels: 52,261.75, 51,414.90
