U.S. factory orders edge up 0.1% in January, point to slower economy
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. factory orders rose a scant 0.1% in January, another sign pointing to slower economic growth in the first quarter. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.4% increase. Orders for durable goods, or products meant to least at least three years, rose 0.3%. But orders for cheaper products not meant to last a long time, known as nondurable goods, sank 0.5% in January. The 0.1% increase in factory orders in December, meanwhile, was left unchanged.

US STOCKS-Wall Street higher as Fed expected to hold fire
U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday with technology and financial shares leading gains, as investors expected a more accommodative policy stance at the end of the Federal Reserve's two-day meeting this week.

Dow clambers above 26,000 at open, attempts to match longest win streak of 2019 ahead of Fed update
U.S. stocks on Tuesday opened solidly higher ahead of a policy update by the Federal Reserve set to be released Wednesday afternoon. Investors appeared to shake off news reports that President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to formally end a U.S.-China trade dispute is unlikely to occur until June. A report from Bloomberg News last week placed April as a tentative time for that gathering, delayed from sometime this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up solidly, gaining 113 points, or 0.4%, to 26,029, on pace for its fifth gain in a row, which would match the blue-chip index's longest string of gains since the period ended Jan. 10, according to FactSet data. The S&P 500 index rose 0.4% at 2,844, while the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.5% to 7,756. A meeting of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee is set to commence later Tuesday morning, with an update to policy set to be released at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. In corporate news, shares of Nvidia Corp. were in focus Tuesday after the company announced Monday evening that Amazon.com Inc. would now be using its T4 data-center chips.

Dow's bullish 'golden cross' set to appear, exactly 3 months after a bearish 'death cross'
The Dow Jones Industrial Average chart is set on Tuesday to produce a bullish "golden cross" pattern, exactly three months after a bearish "death cross" appeared. A golden cross is when the 50-day moving average (DMA), a shorter-term trend tracker, crosses above the 200-DMA, a longer-term trend divider. Many technicians believe the cross marks the spot where a shorter-term bounce turns into a longer-term uptrend. Dow futures are up about 102 points before the open. The 50-DMA is on track to open at $25,177.96 and the 200-DMA at 25,165.81, according to FactSet. The bullish cross comes 60 sessions after a bearish death cross appeared on Dec. 19. The last golden cross appeared on April 19, 2016, which was 66 sessions after a death cross appeared. After that last golden cross, the Dow rallied 29% before the next death cross appeared. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are both about two weeks away from producing golden cross patterns.
Associated Press•2 hours agoGlobal markets recover as focus turns towards Fed decision
Global stock markets recovered their poise Tuesday after a lackluster session in Asia as investors digested the latest bout of Brexit uncertainty and prepared for a key U.S. Federal Reserve meeting. With just ten days to go until Brexit, the country has yet to agree on how it will leave and Prime Minister Theresa May is expected later this week to seek an extension to the departure date from March 29. "Depending on your point of view, either the U.K. is locked in some kind of limbo tied to the EU, which is the 'Remainers' preferred scenario, or as an unintended consequence the U.K. leaves the EU without a deal quite soon, the Brexiteers preferred scenario, something which is not being priced in by financial markets at the moment," said Neil MacKinnon, economist at VTB Capital.
