Traders brace for a widely anticipated 75 basis point Fed interest rate hike on Wednesday, part of the drive to tackle inflation, as well as corporate reports from Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.

Commodity prices rose amid signs of a deficit and natural gas prices in Europe rose to the highest level in more than four months. Oil and copper also jumped. Treasury yields slipped while the dollar indicator surged.

Major investment houses expect the stock market to decline until at least the end of the year.

Key events to watch this week:

  • Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta earnings due this week
  • US new home sales, Tuesday
  • IMF's world economic outlook update, Tuesday
  • EU energy ministers emergency meeting, Tuesday
  • Fed policy decision, briefing, Wednesday
  • Australia CPI, Wednesday

  • Euro-area CPI, Friday
  • PCE price index, US consumer income, University of Michigan consumer sentiment, Friday
