Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on this week’s Federal Reserve interest rate policy decision and the potential impact on the year-end Santa rally potential.

From Bloomberg

  • "Stocks nudged higher at the start of a week in which investors will search for clues on next year’s interest-rate path as they look beyond an all-but-certain cut at the Federal Reserve’s final meeting of 2025.

  • S&P 500 futures rose less than 0.1% after the benchmark closed within touching distance of an all-time high. Netflix Inc. climbed 1.5% in premarket trading after US President Donald Trump raised potential antitrust concerns on its planned takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Nasdaq 100 contracts advanced 0.2%.

  • US stocks have rebounded in recent weeks to approach an October record after some Fed officials signaled that they intend to deliver a cut on Wednesday. Still, the advance has been jittery as uncertainty over the pace of easing in 2026 and wariness about the durability of an AI-driven rally keep sentiment in check.

  • Unease that inflation remains too high has also caused divisions among Fed officials in a rift that’s been exacerbated by the lack of fresh data during the shutdown. After a probable cut on Wednesday, money markets are now leaning toward two more by the end of 2026, down from three barely a week ago."
