 Market Update: Dow Jones Encounters A Marginal Rise. Investors Should Track Federal Reserve’s Meet

Stock markets, globally, are expected to get influenced by macro-factors as well as the health of the global economy. A rise in tensions related to the global economic slowdown can negatively impact the sentiments of market players, as a result, they might decide to liquidate their present holdings into equities. In the event of an economic downturn, investors tend to deploy their funds towards less risky assets. Also, the sentiment of market players might get influenced by events associated with the trade battle between the US and China. These types of economic uncertainties have the potential to disrupt the prospects of global economic growth.

The Federal Reserve meeting happens to be an important event as we are talking about the global markets and the investors’ sentiments. The comments of Chairman Jerome Powell need to be looked upon by the market players. On July 29, 2019, Dow Jones Industrial Average witnessed a rise of 28.9 points or 0.11% to close the session at 27,221.35. On the other hand, S&P 500 fell by 4.89 points or 0.16% to settle at 3020.97. The US Federal Reserve meeting needs to be tracked by the investors, as it can help them in getting a broader overview of the global economy.
