Stock Market: Will S&P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?

The S&P 500 fell 1.21% on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve signaled potential rate hikes in 2026, with the median official expecting rates to end the year at 3.8%. However, Polymarket traders predict a 98% probability of a higher opening on Thursday, as futures point to a rebound driven by resilient economic conditions and strength in Asian markets. Investors will monitor earnings from Accenture and Kroger, along with jobless claims data.
