KB Home (KBH) follows after the close. Investors want housing demand trends and FY2026 guidance. The mortgage-rate impact is the swing factor.
Pre-Market Pulse 📊
US futures edged higher into the Fed decision. Megacap tech stays the main pressure point after Tuesday's selloff. The Dow held up on rotation into industrials and value.
Beyond the watchlist, Eos Energy (EOSE) rose 6.7% as its new site began production.
Macro Note 📝
Oil slumped more than 5%. WTI fell to around 76.9 dollars and Brent to 78.82 dollars on US-Iran deal expectations and a possible Strait of Hormuz reopening.
