US EditionWall Street Ticks Modestly Higher Ahead of Wednesday's Interest Rate Decision by the Federal Reserve
- On Dec 8, Asian shares dithered as investors priced a likely Federal Open Market Committee cut this week and MSCI Asia-Pacific index slipped in quiet trade.
- A Reuters poll of 108 analysts found only 19 tipping no change, while JPMorgan's Michael Feroli expects dissents and a slim majority for a December cut.
- Bond-Market moves supported a steadier dollar and cautious equity trading as Treasuries declined, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield higher and spot gold rose to $4,206.56 an ounce.
- This week’s government debt auctions were rescheduled to avoid the Dec. 10 Fed announcements, and the Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank, and Reserve Bank of Australia are expected to hold rates.
- With few dissents, any split at the Federal Open Market Committee would be notable, as it has not had three or more dissents since 2019, and the 2026 rate path remains uncertain, say Barclays strategists including Andrea Kiguel.
