Stock Market Today: Dow Wavers As Oil Prices Creep Back Up; Fed Meeting Next (Live Coverage)

The Dow Jones fluctuated on Tuesday as oil prices reversed Monday’s sharp decline, adding volatility to equity markets amid broader economic uncertainty. A two-day Federal Reserve meeting begins today, with investors closely watching for signals on interest rate policy and inflation outlook. Energy sector stocks faced pressure despite the oil rebound, reflecting lingering concerns over global demand and geopolitical risks. Market analysts attribute the Dow’s instability to conflicting economic data, including mixed corporate earnings and persistent supply chain disruptions. Traders remain cautious ahead of the Fed’s decision, with bond yields rising slightly as expectations for rate adjustments shift.
