U.S. stock futures indicated a lower opening as investors prepared for a busy week. The volatility continued as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 faced fluctuating conditions. Following a brief rally, stocks tumbled, with the Dow losing 260 points and the Nasdaq dragged lower by declines in major tech stocks such as Tesla and Nvidia. The VIX, a measure of market volatility, spiked amid these sell-offs, reflecting heightened investor caution ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The S&P 500 edged closer to correction territory as market sentiment remained wary, particularly in the technology sector, which resumed its decline. Analysts noted that the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to maintain current interest rates, with economic projections influencing market behavior.
