Markets 📈

Stocks turned south on Wednesday after the Fed held rates steady at its January meeting. Small-caps and tech stocks led the sell-off.

Today, futures are edging higher in the premarket. S&P 500 contracts are currently up by 0.4%.

What to Watch Today:
Several notable tech stocks will release their latest quarterly numbers after the closing bell, including Apple, Facebook, and Amazon.

Premarket Highlights 🔎

📉 Stocks Notch Monthly Gains Despite Weak Finish

Wednesday's market took a downward turn after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted that a March interest-rate cut might not be in the cards.

Despite this disappointment, major indexes still wrapped up their third consecutive month of gains.

📊 January's Mixed Signals: 
Throughout January, the stock market oscillated between optimism about the U.S. economy and wariness over the Fed's future monetary policies.

The month concluded with a lean towards caution, largely influenced by the prospect of prolonged high interest rates.

The S&P 500 saw a 1.6% drop - its biggest one-day percentage fall since September.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tumbled by 2.2%, affected by losses in each of the 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones also retreated by 0.8%, shedding around 317 points.

📈 Monthly Overview: 
Despite the day's losses, January's overall performance remained positive.

The S&P 500 led with a 1.6% increase, followed by the Dow with a 1.2% gain.

The Nasdaq, weighed down by declines in major players like Tesla and Apple, edged higher by around 1% for the month.

🐂 Optimistic Outlook
The strong start to the year is a good sign for stocks. Progress has been slow, but the first hint that an interest rate cut is within reach could trigger a significant upward move.

If the pullback continues, it could develop into a ‘buy the dip’ opportunity.
