Good MorningTraders hoping for a bottom got some good news on Monday but it may be short-lived. The major indices, led by tech, regained more than 1.5% on bargain hunting and hopes the FOMC can continue to support the economy.
The FOMC is holding its regularly scheduled September meeting this week and expected to release a policy statement on Wednesday. There isn’t expected to be any change to policy but the committee will likely move the market with its statement. Comments about the economy, particularly risks to the economy, will be the news of the day.
Investors should also be wary of this week’s economic data. Aside from the FOMC meeting, there are the Retail Sales, Housing Starts, Building Permits, and Home Builders Index to be aware of and all are expected to be strong. Better or worse than expected figures will add volatility to the markets.

From Our Partners | | A drilling crew near the Grand Canyon uncovered a clean energy well producing nearly eight times the output of Saudi Arabia's largest oil field, with potential to last two million years.
