Event Calendar:

Bonds rallied globally while stocks struggled for traction before the Federal Reserve concludes its policy meeting Wednesday, with officials expected to cut interest rates again and possibly move further to calm money-markets rates. The S&P 500 Index edged lower, with FedEx Corp. tumbling after the company slashed its profit outlook, blaming a global economy weakened by trade tensions. Europe's equity benchmark eked out an advance. Government bonds climbed from the U.S. to Japan, with the 10-year Treasury yield dipping below 1.8%. The surge came after the Fed had to inject cash Tuesday to soothe money markets -- an intervention it repeated Wednesday. While Fed officials are widely expected to cut their benchmark rate by a quarter-point, some investors are saying the central bank may also boost its balance sheet to stabilize the volatile repo market. Traders also are keeping an eye on whether a potential oil shortage weighs on the global economy, and on preparations by the U.S. and China for top officials to meet on trade in October.
