The U.S. stock market, already reeling from President Donald Trump's fluctuating foreign import tariff policies, is bracing for insights from the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting. Investors are eager for any indication of further interest rate cuts to alleviate market strain.

The S&P 500, having slid into correction territory, has seen a significant drop in value, surpassing $4 trillion. Market giants like Nvidia and Tesla have been heavily affected, as worries mount over an economic downturn, amplified by Trump's escalating tariff war.
