Global Markets Show Mixed Performance Amid Anticipation of Federal Reserve Decision

Global stock markets experienced varied movements, with U.S. stocks rising overnight and oil prices declining in the afternoon, while gold prices rebounded. According to Ming Pao, futures markets in the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Shenzhen continued to rise, whereas the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges halted their declines and showed signs of recovery. Investors are temporarily overlooking geopolitical uncertainties and focusing on the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, which is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged while assessing the impact of fluctuating oil prices. In Hong Kong, the stock market saw a pullback, with technology, consumer, and energy stocks declining, while financial, insurance, utilities, and healthcare stocks experienced gains. The Hang Seng Index and the China Enterprises Index have both risen for three consecutive days.
