Good MorningU.S. stocks pulled back from record highs ahead of the Fed meeting, with the S&P 500 down about 0.7%, the Nasdaq off roughly 1%, and the Dow essentially flat. While tech and chip names cooled slightly, biotech strength—driven by Eli Lilly’s blockbuster performance—helped support the broader market.
Trade and policy news created more questions than clarity. China pledged to buy more U.S. soybeans and work with U.S. officials on TikTok, but details were light, leaving markets cautious. Meanwhile, a drop in mortgage rates to 6.17% offered a positive note for housing, even as metals fell and the ECB rate policy stayed unchanged. Markets remain focused on earnings, global trade signals, and the Fed’s next moves. Featured: Move Your Money Here Before August 31st (Ad)
