Wall Street remains stable with the S&P 500 up 0.2% ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision, as Brent crude falls to $107.59 and the 10-year Treasury yield dips to 4.97%. Investors are closely monitoring these easing signals in oil and bond markets amid expectations for an imminent interest rate hike to combat persistent inflation.

  • According to the latest feed from GN auto markets/energy, Brent crude has retreated to $107.59, a drop of 1.1% from its recent peak near $110, which is providing some relief to equity markets. This easing in energy costs coincides with the 10-year Treasury yield slipping back under the 5% mark to 4.97%, slightly softening the inflationary pressure that traders are watching ahead of the Fed's announcement.
