Stock Market Update Wednesday July 30, 2025 The FOMC rate decision came in as expected, but market sentiment shifted notably during Chair Powell’s press conference. Odds of a September rate cut fell below 50%—down from 65% just a day earlier—prompting a move higher in Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar, while equities initially sold off. Despite the intraday weakness, the major indices partially recovered, with the Nasdaq turning positive ahead of key tech earnings after the bell. Both $META and $MSFT are trading higher in after-hours.
On the day:• $SPX -0.1%• $QQQ +0.2%• $IWM -0.5%
Away From Stocks: U.S. 10-year yield rose to 4.37%• $DXY strengthened to 99.81• Gold declined• Crude oil climbed back above $70• $VIX edged lower to 15.50
