[See these 3 stocks now.]( --------------------------------------------------------------- US Market Bitcoin [Bitcoin]( DAX [DAX]( Dow Jones [Dow Jones]( Nasdaq [Nasdaq]( The major U.S. index futures are currently pointing to a lower open on Tuesday, with stocks likely to give back ground following the late-day advance seen in the previous session. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve?s monetary policy decision on Wednesday may lead traders to cash in on the upward move seen in the final hour of trading on Monday. The Fed is widely expected to raise interest rates by another 75 basis points, although some see an outside chance for a 100 basis point rate hike. CME Group's FedWatch Tool is currently indicating an 84.0 percent chance of a 75 basis points rate hike and a 16.0 percent chance of a 100 basis point rate hike. Several of other major central banks around the world are also scheduled to announce their latest monetary policy decisions this week, including the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan. A notable drop by shares of Ford (F) may also weigh on Wall Street, with the auto giant slumping by 4.7 percent in pre-market trading. The pullback by Ford comes after the company warned inflation-related supplier costs during the third quarter will run about $1.0 billion higher than originally expected. On the U.S. economic front, the Commerce Department released a report showing an unexpected spike in new residential construction in the U.S. in the month of August, although the report also showed a steeper than expected slump in building permits. Stocks recovered from an initial move to the downside and spent much of the trading session on Monday showing a lack of direction before advancing going into the close. The major averages all regained ground following the steep losses posted last week. The major averages reached new highs late in the session, ending the day firmly positive. The Dow rose 197.26 points or 0.6 percent to 31,019.68, the Nasdaq advanced 86.62 points or 0.8 percent to 11,535.02 and the S&P 500 climbed 26.56 points or 0.7 percent to 3,899.89. Lingering concerns about the outlook for the global economy contributed to the initial weakness on Wall Street after last week's warning from FedEx (FDX). Selling pressure waned shortly after the start of trading, however, enabling traders to pick up stocks at reduced levels following recent weakness. The subsequently rebound by the major averages came after they pulled back near the two-month intraday lows set last Friday. Nonetheless, trading activity remained somewhat subdued as traders looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's highly anticipated monetary policy announcement on Wednesday. Traders largely shrugged off a report from the National Association of Home Builders showing U.S. homebuilder confidence declined for the ninth consecutive month in September. The report showed the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index slid to 46 in September from 49 in August. Economists had expected the index to edge down to 48. With the bigger than expected decrease, the housing market index dropped to its lowest level since hitting 45 in May 2014. Airline stocks showed a substantial rebound after falling sharply in the previous session, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index soaring by 3.0 percent after ending last Friday's trading at its lowest closing level in well over a month. Steel stocks also saw significant strength following recent weakness, driving the NYSE Arca Steel Index up by 2.9 percent. The index ended the previous session at a nearly two-month closing low. Considerable strength was also visible among gold stocks, as reflected by the 2.6 percent surge by the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index. The rally by gold stocks came despite a modest decrease by the price of the previous metal. Housing, chemical and financial stocks also saw notable strength on the day, while weakness remained visible among computer hardware stocks. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Our Best Stock Pick Every Day]( Stop wasting time scouring for stock picks.

China's Shanghai Composite Index edged up 0.2 percent to 3,122.41 after the People's Bank of China kept its benchmark lending rates unchanged at a monthly fixing, as expected.
