Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures slip as investors count down to Powell's speech

Wall Street holds its breath while waiting for the Fed's next move—because apparently guessing central banker wordplay counts as investment strategy these days.

Pre-Market Jitters

Futures slip across all major indices as traders reposition portfolios ahead of Powell's keynote. The usual suspects—inflation worries, rate hike fears—are doing their dance again.

Powell's Podium Power

Every word gets parsed, every pause analyzed. Markets hang on monetary policy nuance like it's divine revelation—never mind that the Fed's crystal ball has been cloudier than most.

The Waiting Game

Trading volumes thin out as institutional money plays defense. Retail investors meanwhile keep chasing momentum—some things never change in this casino masquerading as a financial system.
