Investors are focused on the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting starting Tuesday, alongside several key corporate earnings and events.
On the earnings front, General Mills and Bullish will report Wednesday, followed by Darden Restaurants before the market opens Thursday and FedEx after the close. Analysts expect Bullish to post Q2 2025 revenue of USD 56.3M with EPS of USD 0.88. FedEx is forecast to deliver Q1 2026 revenue of USD 21.67B, up 0.44% year-over-year, with EPS of USD 3.32, reflecting a 3.4% increase. However, FedEx continues to face headwinds including sluggish business-to-business demand, weakening e-commerce volumes, and the drag from U.S. trade policies on global shipping.
Separately, Meta Platforms will host its Meta Connect developer conference, spotlighting AI, extended reality (XR), and wearable technology. The highlight will be the unveiling of Meta’s next-generation smart glasses—its first consumer-ready eyewear with a built-in display.
Macroeconomic data will also shape market sentiment. Monday brings the Empire State Manufacturing Index, followed by Retail Sales and Industrial Production Tuesday. Wednesday will see Housing Starts, Building Permits, and the Fed’s policy decision, with Jobless Claims due Thursday.
The Fed meeting is widely anticipated, with markets and Bloomberg Intelligence expecting a 25-basis-point rate cut—the first since December. This cut appears less driven by core economic data and more by investor expectations and political pressure from the White House. Chair Jerome Powell is expected to strike a cautious, neutral tone in his press conference, emphasizing the Fed’s balance between price stability and employment, while signaling independence in decision-making.
