Market Wrap
US equity futures edged higher as traders awaited a Federal Reserve interest rate decision that will be scrutinized more for the policy outlook than a widely expected pause in hikes. Contracts on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 both added about 0.3%. Among individual moves, grocery delivery company Instacart Inc. slipped in premarket, a day after surging following one of the year’s biggest US initial public offerings.
