*GLOBAL STOCKS WAVER AS MARKETS AWAIT FED DECISION, POWELL COMMENTS

Efforts by regulators and policymakers globally to stem banking sector turmoil have helped steam a rout in equity markets but the mood remain fragile.The spotlight was firmly on the Fed, which concludes a two-day meeting later on Wednesday.

"So far the banking issues are more idiosyncratic than systemic, and a system breakdown has become far less likely in the wake of the extraordinary deposit support announced by the Fed in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse," said Padhraic Garvey, regional head of research, Americas at ING. Having even priced in the risk of a rate cut last week, futures now imply an 86% chance of a quarter-point rise to 4.75%-5.0%. A couple of weeks ago the market had been wagering on a half-point hike.

"It's almost as if we’re seeing Powell flipflop a bit between that slightly less hawkish FOMC meeting in January/February and then his more hawkish appearance before the Senate," said Fiona Cincotta, market strategist at Citi Index.
