Global stock markets have fallen in anticipation of todays US Federal Reserve<\/a> meeting which could lead to an interest rate hike.<\/p>\n

US markets fell sharply last night and European markets initially followed suit this morning before rebounding.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite all fell more than two per cent last night \u2013 to 14-month lows \u2013 as another US selloff spread its way towards the European markets.<\/p>\n

The FTSE 100<\/a> fell 0.8 per cent in early trading but rebounding slightly to 0.35 per cent down and Frances CAC also dropped 0.1 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cTentative signs of recovery are in evidence across equities in Europe, while US futures have begun to look more encouraging after yet another heavy days of losses,\u201d IG analyst Chris Beauchamp said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only question is whether a rebound will begin ahead of the Fed decision tomorrow, or whether another quick flush is due before tomorrows widely-expected rate hike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US central bank is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25 to a range of 2.25-2.5 per cent \u2013 the highest level in a decade.<\/p>\n

But it has come under intense pressure from President Donald Trump<\/a>, who has warned against another hike.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incredible that with a very strong dollar and virtually no inflation, the outside world blowing up around us, Paris burning and China way down, the Fed is even considering yet another interest rate hike. Take the victory!\u201d Trump wrote on Twitter<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

Asian markets also suffered with Japans Nikkei down 1.7 per cent and Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index falling 1.05 per cent.<\/p>\n

A highly-anticipated speech by Chinese president Xi Jinping failed to lift the markets earlier today.<\/p>\n
