STOCK MARKET,FEDERAL RESERVE,INTEREST RATES

U.S. stock indexes declined on Tuesday as investors turned cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week, despite strong November retail sales figures. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite all fell, with technology stocks leading the decline. Investors are closely watching for signs of the Fed's future monetary policy stance, particularly after recent data indicated a resilient U.S. economy.

Dec 17 - Technology stocks weighed on Wall Street on Tuesday, as investors grew cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week following a stronger-than-expected retail sales reading.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield inched higher, hovering near a three-week high of 4.428% and pressuring rate-sensitive equities, as market bets strengthened on a more cautious Fed in 2025. Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors were lower with energy stocks , down 1.6%, while financials , and information technology , followed with a 0.9% and 0.6% loss respectively.

"This will be the second year in a row of the S&P delivering returns of over 20%. And that's only a third time that's happened in the last century, so I think there's some profit taking," Sterner said. Wall Street saw a fairly strong session on Monday, where the Nasdaq , closed at a record high and the S&P 500 , gained ground.

Pfizer , gained 4.1% after the drugmaker forecast 2025 profit roughly in line with Wall Street expectations.
