Exxon, Samsung, and the Fed: Key Market Moves Investors Should Watch

US stock futures edged higher on Wednesday morning, as investors hoped for a potential rebound after equities took a hit in the previous session. The rally was prompted by a strong set of economic figures that had caused stocks to dip earlier in the week. While the economic data suggested resilience in the US economy, it also fueled concerns about the persistence of inflation, which is keeping investors on edge. A series of key economic reports and speeches from Federal Reserve officials are expected to shed more light on the future direction of monetary policy, as the market anticipates some major policy decisions later this year.
