U.S. stock futures climbed on Wednesday in premarket hours as Wall Street awaits the Federal Reserve&#8217;s final interest rate decision for 2024 and its monetary policy forecasts for 2025.
On Tuesday, the Dow Jones index fell for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42546507/dow-records-longest-losing-streak-since-1978-nvidia-declines-fear-greed-index-in-neutral-zone">ninth session in a row</a> to record its longest losing streak since 1978.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.40% and 4.25%, respectively. The Federal Open Market Committee will announce its decision later in the day after a two-day meeting.
It is widely expected to announce another interest rate reduction at the conclusion of their meeting on Wednesday. Expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut rose to 95.4%, from 58.7% a month ago, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
If the Fed cuts rates, it would be the third consecutive cut, bringing the federal funds rate down from its current level of 4.50% to 4.75%. Following the meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell&#8217;s remarks will be closely scrutinized by market participants.
Investors will receive another critical economic data point on Friday with the release of the November personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation index. This release follows other inflation indicators that suggest price increases accelerated in November.
Prior to that, GDP revisions on Thursday will reveal whether the economy maintained the previously estimated 2.8% growth rate for the third quarter.

Cues From The Last Session
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42546507/dow-records-longest-losing-streak-since-1978-nvidia-declines-fear-greed-index-in-neutral-zone">Dow Jones Industrial Average </a>extended its losing streak to nine consecutive sessions on Tuesday, its longest downturn since 1978. This negative trend weighed on the broader U.S. stock market.
While Tesla shares rallied after a positive analyst upgrade, Nvidia experienced a slight decline.
On the economic front, U.S. retail sales exceeded expectations in November, suggesting increased consumer spending. However, industrial production contracted, signaling a slowdown in manufacturing activity.
The S&amp;P 500 saw a broad-based decline, with industrials, energy, and financials leading the losses. Consumer discretionary stocks, on the other hand, bucked the trend and closed higher.
At the close of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen by approximately 268 points to 43,449.90. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also ended the day lower, declining by 0.39% and 0.32%, respectively.

Insights From Analysts
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index last saw a nine-day fall for the first time since February 1978, according to FactSet data. However, the index has seen steeper crashes in a single day as compared to the cumulative erosion it has witnessed over these nine days.
Dow Jones has fallen nearly 3.47% to 43,449.90 points over the last nine days since Dec. 4, when it was at 45,014.04 points.
&#8220;Since 1900, I see 267 times it lost more than 3.47% in a single day,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Research.

According to BlackRock, the global economy is undergoing a transformation that could keep shifting the long-term economic trend. They suggest that investors should shift to distinct drivers of risk and return.
&#8220;That creates a wide range of potential outcomes and a need to use scenarios to guide portfolio construction, we think. Government bonds have become a less reliable cushion against risk asset selloffs in this new regime. So investors should consider new diversifiers like gold and bitcoin – not to replace bonds, but to get exposure to distinct drivers of risk and return.&#8221;
&#8220;We see the AI buildout and adoption creating opportunities across sectors,&#8221; BlackRock&#8217;s note added.
&#8220;Overall, with so much uncertainty around tariffs and inflation, bond market volatility is unlikely to fade anytime soon,&#8221; said JPMorgan in their note.
&#8220;The week's economic data releases appeared to be enough for markets to solidify expectations for a rate cut at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting,&#8221; said T Rowe Price in their weekly note.
