US Markets Mixed as Fed Decision Looms Amid Escalating Middle East Tensions

US markets are experiencing mixed results ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision. The Fed's decision will likely have significant implications for interest rates and the overall economy.

Meanwhile, oil prices have surged by over 4% after a recent escalation in Middle East violence. The price jump comes as Jordan and the US successfully downed another Iranian missile barrage launched against American forces in the region.

The situation in the Middle East remains volatile, with ongoing tensions between Iran and its adversaries contributing to increased uncertainty and market volatility.
