Wall Street declines ahead of Fed's meeting

US stock indices fell on Tuesday after a two-session decline before the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. 

Analysts expect the Fed to hold interest rates unchanged at this week’s meeting. 

However, investors expect the Fed to release detailed forecasts for growth, inflation and interest rates to gauge the impact of US President Donald Trump on policies. 

Investors continue to be concerned about the ongoing global trade war and its impact on businesses and sales.

On trading, Dow Jones fell 0.4%, or 171 points as of 14:35 GMT to 41,669 points, while S&P 500 dropped 0.9%, or 55 points to 5620 points, as NASDAQ lost 1.7%, or 309 points to 17,501 points.
