US, China Markets on Edge for a Make-or-Break Week for Retail Investors - bloomingbit

New York stocks are poised to take their cue this week, from October 26 to October 30, from the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision and earnings from major technology companies. In China, the main focus for equities is the fifth plenary session of the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th Central Committee. Investors are watching for signals on economic policy and whether hopes for stimulus will influence the market. The biggest variable for Wall Street this week is the Federal Open Market Committee’s regular meeting on October 27 and October 28. As of October 23, markets were assigning a 90% probability to the Fed holding rates steady in October, according to CME FedWatch.
