Live updates
Stocks fell on Wednesday, as oil prices spiked ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate decision. Chip stocks also extended their decline...
Oil prices extended their gains after President Donald Trump told a Fox News reporter that the U.S. will be hitting Iran “hard” in response to the surprise attacks. West Texas Intermediate crude futures advanced 6.9% to trade at $89.88 a barrel.
This comes after U.S. Central Command said in a social media post late Tuesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched “multiple ballistic missiles in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.” The missiles were successfully intercepted, Centcom said.
Investors are also looking ahead to the Fed’s policy decision and subsequent press conference with Chairman Kevin Warsh on Wednesday afternoon. Fed funds futures traders are pricing in a nearly 70% likelihood that the central bank holds rates steady at the current targe range of 3.5% to 3.75%, according to CME’s FedWatch tool.

In this daily update (0:18), market strategist Gareth Soloway provides a technical analysis of the current market climate, focusing on the upcoming Federal Reserve decision, semiconductor volatility, and commodity trends.
Key Highlights:
Federal Reserve Outlook (0:29-2:04): With an upcoming rate announcement, markets are weighing a potential rate hike despite lower odds. Soloway notes that a surprise move could unnerve investors.
Semiconductor Sector (2:19-5:27, 10:34-14:56): Following a volatile earnings report from SK Hynix, the sector is under pressure. Soloway highlights a significant correction in the Cospi index and identifies key support levels for potential swing trades in stocks like SanDisk (11:15-12:29) and VRT (12:58-13:26).
Commodities (6:25-8:46, 14:57-17:34): Oil is seeing a boost due to geopolitical tensions, while Gold and Natural Gas are showing patterns that suggest a significant move may occur in the near future.
Trading Strategy (6:58-7:35, 15:37-16:53): Soloway emphasizes the importance of waiting for multiple technical factors before entering a trade, advocating for patience and a measured approach rather than attempting to catch the exact bottom.

Wall Street closes down sharply after Fed holds rates unchanged | Reuters
SUMMARY
Fed leaves interest rate unchangedEarnings from Meta, Microsoft on tap after the bellFord rises after lifting FY profit outlookS&P 500 -1.52%, Nasdaq -1.74%, Dow -2.19%
July 29 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply lower on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, with AI-related chip stocks adding to recent declines ahead of quarterly reports from Microsoft and Meta Platforms and the Nasdaq 100 index marking an 11% drop from its June record high.
The Fed's widely expected decision to leave the benchmark interest rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range drew dissents from three of the 12 members of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee who "preferred" a quarter-percentage-point hike at this meeting.
The benchmark S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab hit its lowest level in a month, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index (.IXIC), opens new tab was down about 9% from its June record high.
The Nasdaq 100 index (.NDX), opens new tab dropped 2.1%, extending recent losses as investors unloaded AI-related stocks due to ongoing concerns about heavy capital spending. That index is composed of the Nasdaq exchange's most valuable non-financial companies.
Investors worry that major U.S. companies are deepening a web of AI-linked investments and continuing to funnel billions into the emerging technology at the expense of free cash flow.
Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab dropped 4% in extended trade after the social media company said it now expects 2026 capital expenditure to be between $130 billion and $145 billion, compared with its prior forecast of $125 billion to $145 billion.
Also after the bell, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab climbed 0.6% after it topped Wall Street estimates for quarterly cloud revenue growth, a sign its massive spending on AI infrastructure was paying off.
Meanwhile, competition from China has been heating up, both in the race to develop advanced chips and as Chinese firms roll out cheaper AI models.
Speaking to reporters, Fed chief Kevin Warsh said spending on AI was laying the groundwork for future growth.
AI-related chipmakers added to recent losses after a sixfold jump in SK Hynix's (000660.KS), opens new tab quarterly profit fell short of lofty investor expectations. The South Korean company's shares fell 10%.
AI infrastructure company Vertiv (VRT.N), opens new tab slumped 17% after missing quarterly revenue expectations...
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes declined, led lower by industrials (.SPLRCI), opens new tab, down 3.24%, followed by a 2.5% loss in information technology (.SPLRCT), opens new tab.
