US stock index futures pointed to a higher opening on Wednesday as crude oil prices declined and investors awaited the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision later in the day.
The indicated rebound followed two consecutive sessions of losses that pushed the S&P 500 to its lowest closing level in more than a month.
US crude oil futures fell nearly 2% after gaining almost 6% over the previous two days. The decline followed an American Petroleum Institute report showing an unexpected increase of 7.1 million barrels in US crude oil inventories last week.
Trading activity could remain limited ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement.
According to CME Group's FedWatch Tool, market pricing indicated a 92.7% probability of a 25-basis-point interest rate increase. The figure reflects market-implied expectations rather than a confirmed policy decision.

US stock futures moved higher on Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Oil prices declined following an unexpected increase in US inventories, while developments involving Meta and OpenAI remained in focus.
At 07:12 GMT, Dow futures were up 129 points, or 0.3%. S&P 500 futures gained 21 points, or 0.3%, while Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 145 points, or 0.5%.
Wall Street's main indices had declined in the previous session as US government bond yields approached two-decade highs. Higher oil prices, linked to the widening conflict in the Middle East, contributed to concerns about inflation and further monetary policy tightening.
Analysts at Vital Knowledge described a feedback mechanism in which rising oil prices push bond yields higher, affect investor sentiment and increase pressure on central banks to raise interest rates.
Markets broadly anticipated a 25-basis-point interest rate increase at the conclusion of the Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) spent nearly two years raising anticipation for the Cybercab. When the time arrived on September 3 in Austin, the result was a stock that popped, then rapidly returned all of its gains, and a robotaxi race that still seems to be Alphabet's to lose.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) had its long-awaited Cybercab launch event in Austin, Texas, but it was invitation-only, not livestreamed, and CEO Elon Musk wasn't there. The company's main public update was a 51-second video released on X of the two-seat, steering-wheel-free vehicle roaming city streets and people hailing it by app. Shares rose roughly 5% throughout the session, finishing near $376. By September 4, enthusiasm had waned, with the stock plummeting as much as 6% as investors realized how little the event revealed about deployment timelines, production ramp, or regulatory clearance.
Only 45 Cybercabs were registered in Texas, and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) did not seek an NHTSA exemption before deployment, instead self-certifying the Cybercab as compliant with applicable federal safety standards. NHTSA subsequently opened an audit into that certification and has ordered Tesla to provide additional information about the basis for its compliance claims. CNBC summarized the reaction bluntly: the update "underwhelmed" Wall Street, which had been relying on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) becoming a strong rival in the robotaxi sector, which Alphabet's Waymo currently leads.
That comparison is at the heart of the story. Waymo has established the operational track record that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is still chasing: more than 4,000 autonomous vehicles across its U.S. fleet and more than 500,000 fully autonomous rides per week.
Wall Street's take on the incident was severely divided along those lines. Despite Tesla's efforts to control the narrative, some ******* ysts, including Gary Black of Future Fund, called the Cybercab debut largely a bust. Others, such as Deepwater ******* et Management's Gene Munster, predicted that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) will add approximately 300 Cybercabs in Austin over the next month.

The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers to start the 2026 season with a win, but 29 of their points came in the final 17 minutes of the game. Plenty of questions surround the Vikings, and they don't solely revolve around the quarterback position.
Brian Flores' defense overwhelmed the Packers in the fourth quarter, but there were far too many wide-open Green Bay receivers throughout the day. Minnesota's offense did enough to win, but it will need more consistency moving forward so it isn't clawing its way back late in games.
The next opponent further amplifies these concerns. Next week, the Vikings travel to Soldier Field to face the Chicago Bears, who beat the Carolina Panthers 59-37 on Sunday. Minnesota will need to tighten things up so that they aren't involved in a shootout they can't keep up in.
Kyler Murray's long-awaited Vikings debut was cut short when he left the game with a concussion suffered in the first quarter. Carson Wentz replaced him, completing 12/19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns, doing enough to keep the offense on schedule.
But Murray's availability is already in question for next week. On Monday, Adam Schefter reported that "it looks like" Wentz will start next Sunday against the Bears, as Murray remains in concussion protocol.

Amid the chaos of New York Fashion Week, Demi Moore is stopping to smell the roses.
The Oscar-nominated actress surprised guests when she made an appearance at the Magda Butrym NYFW show on Sunday, Sept. 13. Held at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, the luxury ready-to-wear brand was not only celebrating its spring–summer 2027 collection; the show also marked the Polish brand's first runway presentation in New York.
Moments before the show began, Moore slipped into the designer's front row, joining Kelly Rutherford, Anna Van Patten and Nara Smith. Sitting in between Smith and Rutherford, Moore greeted both women with friendly hugs and handshakes before taking her seat.
With majority of the front row crew garbed in grey and black ensembles, the "St. Elmo's Fire" actress stood out in an all-white Magda Butrym look featuring an ivory crochet halter top styled with a white oversized blazer and matching column maxi skirt. Moore topped off the look with a mini white top-handle bag and pointed-toe crochet pumps that matched her top.
As guests awaited the start of the show, Moore admired the runway lined with pale pink rose petals, at one point taking a moment to smell the roses — literally — by bringing a few petals to the tip of her nose as she chatted with Rutherford.

Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 wasn't much of a fight.
McGregor's long-awaited return ended with his first attempted strike of the fight, a flying switch kick that immediately resulted in a torn ACL. The UFC 329 main event was an utter disappointment for everyone involved … and yet it still counts as an obligation fulfilled for "The Notorious." As a result of showing up versus Holloway, McGregor successfully removed a fight on his current UFC contract.
Just one more remains.
What does McGregor intend to do with his free agency? The world is his oyster. McGregor could box Jake Paul, settle his trilogy with Nate Diaz, or sellout Croke Park in Ireland. In a recently posted video on social media, however, McGregor made it clear that his first priority in a post-UFC world would be a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debut.
🚨 Conor McGregor says he can’t wait until he is “free” from his UFC contract so he can fight in bare knuckle boxing 👀
“I can’t wait to do [bare knuckle]. One more [fight] to go and the Mac Daddy is free.” pic.twitter.com/irR2KJJl7B

The NBA sources are confident the criminal probe will focus primarily on the Clippers, the financial angle of the discretions and not encroach on any basketball side of the equation. And if the justice department looks at deals involving the Clippers, now-bankrupt Aspiration, the technology company Daktronics — which said it was co-operating with the investigators — and other companies, it has nothing to do with the Raptors or the long-awaited transaction.

Michael Carrick enjoyed Manchester United's perfect Champions League return against Sabah but is "pushing for more" with tougher tests around the corner.
Thursday night saw Old Trafford host a first match in European football's premier competition since December 2023 as the Red Devils faced a club that were only founded nine years ago.
United ran out comfortable 4-0 victors against Sabah, the champions of Azerbaijan, with Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko scoring first-half goals.
Lisandro Martinez tapped home to complete a blemish-free start to the league phase for Carrick's men, who recorded their first clean sheet of the season having made a topsy-turvy start to the Premier League.
Asked if Thursday was the perfect way to kick off their long-awaited Champions League return, the United head coach said: "Yeah, I think so.

A stunning new rumor claims the Los Angeles Clippers might scrap the planned trade sending Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for a very petty reason.
When Pablo Torre broke the news last year about Clippers management creating shell companies to pay Leonard extra money and win his free agent sweepstakes in 2019, many wondered how severe the punishment for salary cap circumvention would be. Well, the long-awaited hammer dropped last week.
After the NBA found undeniable evidence of illegal violations by the Clippers, the franchise was fined $30 million. Owner Steve Ballmer was suspended from all league and team activities for a year. Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker was suspended without pay for a year, and President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank was suspended without pay for 6 months. The team was also stripped of five future first-round picks in upcoming seasons.
It is the stiffest penalty in NBA history. However, the one individual involved who got a slap on the wrist was Leonard. After speculation that he could be suspended or have his contract voided, the seven-time All-Star received a $700,000 fine. He also released a statement taking partial ownership of the fiasco.
With the punishment for cap circumvention finalized, the Clippers are expected to complete a previously agreed-upon trade sending the 35-year-old to the Raptors. Or maybe not. It is a bit odd that the two teams haven't completed a deal over a week after the penalty was handed down. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, some around the league believe there is a surprising reason the trade is still in limbo.

CHICAGO — The second volleyball match Sunday night at Wrigley Field in the SEC-Big Ten Challenge was suspended because of excessive moisture on the court.
The decision was made to prevent injuries after players slipped several times on the wet surface.
With a sellout crowd of 43,067 energized for the first volleyball event at the iconic home of the Chicago Cubs, third-ranked Kentucky beat No. 11 Penn State in four sets in the opening match — just an appetizer for fans of the top-ranked Huskers, who filled nearly all of the seats at Wrigley.
Ideal conditions — or so it seemed — awaited Nebraska and Missouri. But the first set was stopped for more than 15 minutes after 2 points. Players from both teams dried the TeraFlex floor with towels as the humidity levels of a 72-degree night pushed past 80 percent.
"This was amazing," Nebraska coach Dani Busboom Kelly said. "I applaud the effort. But there's a reason our sport's indoors."

On Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz beat Tommy Paul in straight sets to reach the quarterfinal of the US Open. His most formidable opponent awaited him after the match, however.
Live television.
Alcaraz joined Andy Roddick, Mary Joe Fernandez, and Rece Davis at the desk for ESPN's live coverage. Roddick asked Alcaraz for "a quick word" on Ben Shelton and Stefanos Tsitsipas and "the challenges that both of them could bring." Alcaraz looked completely dumbfounded and asked Roddick to repeat the question.
"You're either gonna play Shelton or Tsitsipas," Roddick said. "Maybe just a word on both of them."
"Oh, really? I thought…," Alcaraz interjected, leaning over to look at Roddick's copy of the men's draw. "Oh my god! I thought I was playing Daniil Medvedev [or Frances] Tiafoe. Oh my god. Thank you."

Aaron Judge continues to stay busy for the Yankees as he works his way back from a fractured rib that has had him on the IL since June 2.
Prior to their series finale against the San Diego Padres on Sunday, manager Aaron Boone told the media that the plan is still for Judge to face live pitching on Monday at Yankee Stadium, although the pitchers have yet to be determined.
Judge checked off another box earlier in the week by taking batting practice swings with the rest of the team while on their West Coast road trip and is nearing his long-awaited return.
New York comes back to the Bronx following Sunday's game and has an off day on Monday before beginning a six-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies and Mets starting on Tuesday night.
Asked whether Judge returning to the team on Tuesday is unrealistic, Boone answered, "I don't know. We'll see."

The New York Yankees called up shortstop George Lombard Jr. last month as he officially made his long-awaited debut on August 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Since then, Lombard has had a roller-coaster month. He started off strong, dazzling with the glove and the bat, but started to falter as August came to a close.
The 21-year-old has already committed seven errors on the season and now owns a .253 batting average, .310 on-base percentage and .677 OPS across his first 79 big-league at-bats. Regardless, that is too small of a sample size to judge the former first-round pick and top Yankees prospect.

Unfortunately, Lombard has missed three straight games due to right knee discomfort. He suffered the injury last Saturday during a game against the Boston Red Sox, causing him to leave early and he has not played since.

The long-awaited results of the NBA's investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers' alleged salary cap circumvention practices were finally released on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the fallout is just beginning.
Among the punishments handed out, the Clippers must forfeit five first-round draft picks and pay a $30 million fine. Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers' superstar at the heart of the scandal, has been fined $700,000. Additionally, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and president of business operations Gillian Zucker have been suspended by the league for one year. Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations, has been suspended for six months.
The official investigation report from the law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz explicitly lays out why the organization is facing the brunt of the penalties. Throughout the 36-page document, investigators state the three individuals most responsible for the Clippers' rule-breaking are Ballmer, Zucker and Frank, and call out the organization for obfuscating the investigation's efforts.
The report also notes investigators "continue to receive information relevant to the subjects discussed in this report" and will supplement their findings as appropriate. Wachtell Lipton said it conducted 73 interviews of 60 people and reviewed 200,000 pages of documents.
Here are 13 must-read segments from the investigation. Each is quoted directly from the report.

Tesla stock shot to the top of the S&P 500 on Monday. Shares rose more than 5% over the course of the day, according to MarketSurge.
There was no immediate catalyst for the stock. However, a series of developments over the weekend may have been responsible for the rally. CEO Elon Musk made comments about future updates to Tesla's self-driving software. When an X user said they would like their "Tesla to be able to avoid potholes," Musk replied: "Coming soon."
Any remarks about upgrades to Full Self-Driving tend to catch investors' attention, given the software's importance to Tesla's future.
Musk also hinted at an imminent release of Cybercabs in Austin, Texas. The long-awaited launch of Tesla's robotaxi-specific EV model would be a notable milestone for its still nascent service. Last month, when Musk and team, told investors the robotaxi expansion would be slow, the stock tanked.

The Atlanta Braves are making moves as September roster expansions approach. Atlanta has added right-handed relief pitcher Blake Burkhalter and veteran infielder Kyle Farmer to the active roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals.
Burkhalter earns his long-awaited big-league debut after a stellar minor-league season. The 25-year-old has posted a 1.26 ERA with 46 strikeouts and a 1.12 WHIP across 35 2/3 innings in 26 appearances in relief this year.
MORE: Braves finally demote struggling hitter after Brewers series
Farmer is a nine-year big-league veteran who has already spent time with Atlanta earlier this season and brings bench depth. Across 15 games he has posted a .267 batting average, .250 on-base percentage and .583 OPS.
To clear a 40-man roster spot, the Braves transferred right-hander Robert Suarez to the 60-day injured list as he continues working back from right elbow inflammation. The move is procedural and keeps Suarez on the roster without requiring a waiver designation. His placement was backdated to when he first suffered the injury in June. When healthy this season, Suarez was outstanding, posting a 0.56 ERA with 26 strikeouts and four saves across 32 innings.

Lori Loughlin is back on Instagram, and she's got some hands to hold onto with her former costars by her side.
The "Full House" alum, 62, made her long-awaited return to the social media platform on Monday, Aug. 31, for the first time since serving time in prison in connection with the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal.
Loughlin returned via a joint Instagram post with five of her former "Full House" costars: Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and John Stamos.
The video began with the stars, each recording from separate locations, looking into the camera one after another and saying, "Wake up, San Francisco!" On "Full House," Loughlin's character, Rebecca Donaldson, cohosts a morning show by that name with Bob Saget's Danny Tanner.
The video, which also features "Full House" star Scott Weinger and archival footage of Saget's Danny Tanner, then cuts to Loughlin mouthing along to an old audio clip of herself on the series, saying, "Hi, I'm Rebecca Donaldson, and I'm welcoming myself back to the show. Welcome back, Becky! Why, thank you, Becky."
