The Bottom Line

Focus this week in on the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates announced on Wednesday at 2:00 PM EDT. Consensus calls for no change in the Fed Fund Rate currently at 5.25%-5.50%.

Better than consensus quarterly results released last week by several large cap S&P 500 companies prompted analysts to raise estimates for the S&P 500 for the remainder of 2024.
