Investors speculate on 25 or 50 basis point reduction as Federal Reserve prepares for its first rate cut since 2019.

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates next week, with markets split between a 25 and 50 basis point reduction.
The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones have all posted gains, with the S&P 500 achieving a five-day win streak.
Economic projections and interest rate outlook from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting will be closely watched for future rate cut signals.
