Happy Tuesday. This is TheStreet’s Stock Market Today for Sept. 16, 2025. You can follow the latest updates on the market here, our daily live blog.

Update: 7:51 a.m.

FOMC Meeting Begins

With the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting set to begin today, investors will mostly be focused on the fruits of that meeting, which will come tomorrow when the central bank announces its new policy decision and issues a new dot plot. Commentary around the event has been contentious, with many analysts expecting it to be a “sell the news” event.

In the meantime, U.S. equities are seeing some small upside in pre-market trading. The Nasdaq (+0.24%) has a small lead on other indexes this morning. The S&P 500 (+0.17%), which just surpassed 6K and is looking for a new record, isn’t far behind. The Dow (+0.01%) and Russell 2000 (-0.02%) are doing their own thing.

Also notable: the Nasdaq-100 (a subset of the larger Nasdaq exchange) is looking for its 10th consecutive all-time high today. We’ll see if it can get there.

Economic Data Today

There’s a few economic data points that will be garnering some attention today. Chief among them are Retail Sales for Aug. 2025.

However, market participants are also likely to be interested in Industrial Production for August and Business Inventories for July, among others. Here’s the full list of reports that are inbound, along with their latest print and analysts’ expectations as compiled:

Earnings Today

Per Nasdaq, there are 14 earnings reports today. However, there’s just one with a market cap >$1 billion today, Ferguson Enterprises FERG. 

Other than that, earnings from Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. BNED and payment processor Cantaloupe Inc CTLP are also set for today, although not necessarily significant players at their ‘smol’ valuations.
