Wall Street Pauses as Fed Meeting Looms: Futures Hold Steady

U.S. stock futures were little changed on Tuesday as investors awaited the start of the Federal Reserve’s final policy meeting of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures all hovered near flat, reflecting a cautious mood across Wall Street. The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged, but traders are focused on Chair Jerome Powell’s comments and the central bank’s updated economic projections. Markets are looking for clues on when rate cuts might begin in 2024, with inflation cooling but still above the Fed’s long-term target. Recent gains in equities have been fueled by optimism that the Fed’s tightening cycle is over, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly monetary policy will shift toward easing. Until then, investors appear content to hold their positions, waiting for clearer signals from the Fed before making bold moves.

Your daily horoscope: November 21, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The sun links with both Neptune and Uranus on your birthday, which suggests you will be at the centre of some earth-changing events over the coming year. Don’t be shy: Let others know your views about the major issues of the day.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

A certain amount of disruption is inevitable today but don’t let it bother you because the next few weeks are going to be special. The sun’s move into the most adventurous area of your chart tomorrow will renew your enthusiasm for life.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

As one of the zodiac’s fixed signs you cannot be forced to do what you don’t feel comfortable with and that’s a good thing. The more others try to get you to conform today the more you will dig in your heels and resist.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If you bend with the breeze today you will accomplish more than if you try to take on the powers that be. With the sun about to enter your opposite sign you have to recognize that giving a little ground could bring a lot of benefits.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You can take the easy way out today and tell a friend what they want to hear but you won’t be doing them any favours. Not only that but they may blame you later on when they realize you held back on them, so speak up right away.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

There has been some emotional strain in your life of late and you handled it well. But now the cosmic picture is changing and in a matter of days you will feel no pressure at all. One of the best times of the year is about to begin.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Sometimes the best way to help the people you love is to allow them to make their own mistakes and that is very much the message of the stars at the moment. You don’t have to watch them like a hawk every moment of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You have made a lot of new friends in recent weeks and with the sun about to enter the most sociable area of your chart you will soon be doing all sorts of fun things together. Forget about work and enjoy their good company.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You may not care if what you do offends other people but as the sun is about to leave your sign you must try not to be too confrontational. A new power dynamic is beginning to form and you may have to care more than before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The sun moves into your birth sign at the weekend and almost immediately your mood will improve. Having said that, there is still an important family or financial matter that needs to be dealt with, so make that your priority today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You may be right to disapprove of what a friend or colleague has been up to but is any of it your business? Your best course of action by far today is to ignore their behaviour and assume it will all come right in the end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The sun at odds with your ruler Uranus today means you need to be on your guard when dealing with situations that come at you out of the blue. Above all, steer clear of squabbles that have nothing to do with you personally.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

As the sun is about to enter the career area of your chart you may find that work-related issues are more important to you than they were before. You seem laidback on the surface but everyone knows that deep down you really care.
