Wall Street snapped a six-day winning streak overnight, as investors turned cautious ahead of the highly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting. Industrials led the declines on the S&P 500, with UPS plunging after a disappointing earnings miss. The Dow Jones was weighed down by UnitedHealth, which slumped following a downbeat outlook, while Whirlpool shares tumbled amid delays to expected tariff relief. Back home, Aussie shares are set to fall on Wednesday, with attention turning to the release of quarterly inflation data. The Aussie dollar also slipped, as the US dollar climbed to a one-month high.
