  • US Stocks Mixed Ahead of Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision
    June 17, 2026, 10:32 AM EDT. U.S. stocks showed modest gains Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's announcement on interest rates. The S&P 500 edged up 0.1%, with the Dow Jones gaining 40 points and the Nasdaq rising 0.3%, helped by rebounds in artificial intelligence stocks like Jabil, which surged 12.4% after surpassing earnings expectations. Broadcom and Micron Technology also climbed over 2%. Retailer La-Z-Boy jumped 26.3% following strong quarterly results. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady amid concerns over inflation linked to oil prices. A tentative U.S.-Iran agreement has eased oil price pressures, impacting expectations for future rate moves and leaving investors divided on whether rate cuts will occur later this year.
