BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/15/25 08:15 AM EDT

08:15 AM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were little changed pre-bell Monday as traders remained sidelined ahead of this week's two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting to set monetary policy.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.2% higher, S&P 500 futures were up 0.2%, and Nasdaq futures were 0.1% higher.

The rate-setting meeting will kick off Tuesday with a policy statement scheduled for release at the meeting's conclusion at 2 pm ET Wednesday.

Oil prices were higher, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude up 0.3% at $67.17 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 0.4% higher at $62.96 per barrel.

The Empire State Manufacturing Index, scheduled for release at 8:30 am ET, is seen coming in at 4.30 for September versus 11.90 previously, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
