[Markets Await Fed Decision, Tech Giants Under Investigation, but Tesla Bucks the Trend] ⑴ The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its upcoming meeting on Wednesday, with traders pricing in a 68.9 basis point rate cut by the end of 2025. However, analysts point out that any cut below 25 basis points could trigger a sharp market sell-off. ⑵ Despite the US stock market's historically poor performance in September, major indices have posted positive returns so far this month, with technology stocks particularly resilient. Retail sales data released on Tuesday will provide key insights into the health of the US consumer. ⑶ The tech sector faces challenges. Nvidia, a leader in AI chips, saw its stock price fall after a preliminary investigation revealed violations of China's antitrust law. Several other US chipmakers also came under pressure. ⑷ Tesla's stock price bucked the trend, rising 8.2% due to CEO Elon Musk's purchase of nearly $1 billion worth of stock, demonstrating its resilience.
