Investors are optimistic about easing inflation, but there is some caution against assuming the Federal Reserve is done hiking rates after the July meeting. Aside from the interest rate decision, investors are closely monitoring corporate financial releases from companies like Meta, Chipotle, and Mattel, which are scheduled after the market closes today.
