General Market Update

U.S. stock indexes opened higher, suggesting major indexes could rise after three weeks of losses driven by expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy and an energy crisis in Europe. 

The moves in the U.S. accompanied similar gains in European markets, which rebounded after falling Monday following Russia’s indefinite halt of natural-gas flows through a major pipeline.

Much of the recent anxiety in the U.S. has been driven by expectations that the Fed will barrel ahead with tighter monetary policy for much longer than once thought. Many investors are now expecting the Fed to lift interest rates by 0.75 percentage point for a third consecutive time at its meeting later this month.
