US Stock Market: Direction Hinges Upon Whether Investors Keep 50bps Rate Cut Hopes Alive
If there is volatility, then it will likely remain centered around whether the Fed cuts 25 or 50-basis points. Some investors continue to say that the Fed must take the aggressive route because policymakers have to convince Wall Street that they are truly serious about providing the firepower needed to continue the current 10-year economic expansion.

US stocks end lower after Iran tanker seizure
Wall Street stocks finished a down week on a tepid note, falling after news of a tanker attack in the Middle East even as Boeing and oil-linked shares rallied. Stocks had been in positive territory through early afternoon, but fell decisively as Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced they had confiscated a British tanker in the strategic Strait of Hormuz -- a move that prompted swift criticism from the United States and Britain. The fall also roughly coincided with a Wall Street Journal report that the Federal Reserve is targeting a 25-basis point interest rate cut, rather than the larger 50-basis point cut that investors have thought might also be enacted.

Wall Street falls as Fed signals smaller rate cut
Wall Street's main indexes fell on Friday following a report that the Federal Reserve plans to cut interest rates by only a quarter-percentage point at the end of the month. The benchmark S&P 500 erased earlier marginal gains after a Wall Street Journal report on the Fed's plans. According to the report, while the U.S. central bank is not prepared to make a bigger 50-basis-point cut, it may make further rate cuts in the future given concerns about a decline in global economic growth and uncertainty about trade.

Wall Street rises as Fed's Williams cements rate-cut expectations
U.S. stocks moved higher on Thursday after a slow start as comments from New York Fed President John Williams helped cement expectations for an interest rate cut from the U.S. central bank at the end of the month. Williams said that when rates and inflation are low, policymakers cannot afford to keep their "powder dry" and wait for potential economic problems to materialise. "He's toeing the party line at the Fed, basically implying that an insurance rate cut is the right thing to do for the economy at this point in time," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Global stocks gain on Fed rate cut optimism; oil drops
A gauge of global stocks advanced on Thursday, erasing declines on a late rally after comments from a U.S. Federal Reserve policymaker heightened expectations for a rate cut, while oil prices dropped on forecasts of rising output. In a speech read as a strong argument in favour of quick and aggressive action by the Fed to cut rates this month, New York Fed President John Williams said policymakers need to add stimulus early to deal with too-low inflation when rates are near zero. "In all the Fed speak we’ve had... it seems like the ones that are more interested in cutting are more visible," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments in Atlanta, Georgia.

S&P 500 falls by most in 3 weeks as investors digest earnings
Wall Street finished in the red on Wednesday following more subdued trading in global stock markets as investors digested a fresh batch of earnings and Donald Trump damped hopes of a swift resolution to trade talks with China. Wall Street’s S&P 500 shed 0.65 per cent to 2,984.42, slipping from record highs and notching its steepest one-day drop in three weeks.
