Wall St set to climb as focus shifts to Fed

Tuesday, 27 February 2018



US stock index futures pointed to a strong start for Wall Street on Monday, with investors hoping that new Fed chair Jerome Powell will keep the US central bank on a steady course of monetary tightening, reports Reuters.
Powell faces questions from both houses of the US Congress in a semi-annual testimony starting on Tuesday, his first major set piece since he took over from Janet Yellen earlier this month.
