US Stock Futures Rise Ahead of Federal Reserve Decision
US stock futures rose as oil prices slipped and investors awaited a Federal Reserve policy update. Tech gains and strong travel demand lifted market sentiment.
Equity index futures in the United States climbed on Wednesday morning, with Dow E-minis rising 268 points and S&P 500 E-minis gaining 35.5 points.
