This cautious tone followed a modest 0.2% gain in the benchmark on Tuesday, showing that investors are increasingly on edge as they await direction from the Fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in New Zealand, the benchmark S&amp;P\/NZX 50 index (NZ50G) also reflected the wary sentiment, slipping 0.3% to 12,525.57 points during early trading. The movement highlighted a broader regional trend of risk-off behavior as markets gear up for potential shifts in U.S. monetary policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">\u00a9 Copyright Thomson Reuters 2024.
