Stock futures remained stable on Monday morning as investors anticipated a significant meeting by the central bank. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has experienced a seven-day losing streak, is entering a week where the Federal Reserve's decisions are expected to play a crucial role.

The futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average showed a slight increase, reflecting the market's cautious optimism. This comes amid widespread speculation about potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which could have significant implications for the economy and financial markets.

The Federal Reserve's meeting is highly anticipated as it could signal changes in monetary policy that might influence economic growth and inflation. Investors are closely watching for any indications of a rate cut, which could provide a boost to the stock market by making borrowing cheaper and encouraging investment.

This period of anticipation follows a challenging time for the Dow, which has been on a downward trend. The outcome of the Fed's meeting could potentially reverse this trend if the central bank decides to implement measures that stimulate economic activity.
