Stock Futures Dip as Fed Holds Rates and Oil Rises on Tensions

U.S. stock futures declined after the Fed kept rates unchanged and oil climbed on Middle East tensions; the Dow and S&P fell while the Nasdaq edged higher, with Meta dropping about 7% after-hours on weak user growth, Microsoft flat, Alphabet up around 7% on strong revenue/cloud performance, and Amazon rising ~3% on cloud growth. Regular trading saw mixed results across indices, and investors await earnings from Lilly, Mastercard, Merck, Caterpillar, Roku, Apple, Rivian, Roblox, and Twilio, along with key economic data on initial jobless claims, Q1 GDP, personal income/spending, and the PCE price index.

Tech mega-caps power AI push as oil climbs and Fed holds

U.S. stock futures are mixed as mega-cap tech earnings prime the AI-driven capex cycle, with Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta signaling strong cloud/infrastructure demand and contributing to a roughly $131 billion Magnificent 7 AI-related spend in Q1. Meanwhile, Brent and WTI oil advanced to multi-year highs on Middle East tensions and supply concerns. The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at 3.5%–3.75% and Powell said he’ll remain on the board after his chair term ends; ECB and BOE decisions are due soon, with markets eyeing potential June moves in Europe as oil-driven inflation dynamics loom.

Markets Brace for Fed Decision and Major Tech Earnings Week

The stock market faces a critical week with a Federal Reserve interest rate decision and major tech earnings reports, amid ongoing government shutdown concerns. While a rate cut is expected, market focus is on the Fed's stance on quantitative tightening, which could surprise markets. Earnings from key tech giants will also influence market direction, with political and trade uncertainties adding to volatility. The outcome of these events could determine whether Wall Street's rally continues into year-end.

"Market Anticipates Fed to Cut Rates by 50 Basis Points Amid Economic Uncertainty"

The focus in the market has shifted to next week's Fed decision, with speculation on the number of rate cuts. Currently, the market anticipates a shift to a median of two rate cuts instead of three. Despite this, some analysts believe that the market may be overemphasizing the significance of the dot plot, as the Fed's decision will ultimately depend on economic data and the central bank's easing bias. The US dollar is reacting to this speculation, with EUR/USD testing weekly lows, but the true impact of the Fed's decision may not be fully realized until next week.

US Labor Market Weakens as Job Openings Plummet.

US Labor Market Weakens as Job Openings Plummet.

USD/JPY fell by 0.7% to 136.55, erasing most of the previous session's gains, due to falling U.S. bond rates following disappointing U.S. job openings data for March. The softening labor market may reduce pressure on inflation and the need to keep interest rates "high for longer" to restore price stability, which would benefit the Japanese yen. The Fed's policy decision on Wednesday will be closely watched, with expectations of a 25 basis point interest rate hike, but no consensus on what forward-guidance will look like. Technical analysis shows initial support at 135.00, followed by 133.85, while resistance lies at 136.60, 137.75/138.00, and 140.00.
