The Fed will release the minutes of its June meeting this afternoon, giving investors a chance to hunt for clues on the central bank’s monetary path as it heads into its next meeting this month.
The Fed paused on hikes in June but indicated more hikes were coming this year. Futures traders are giving an 88% probability of a quarter of a percentage point increase in July. They are also giving a 33% probability that another increase will come in November.

The main stock indexes in the U.S. started off the second half of the year on a positive note, lifted by record deliveries posted by Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) for the second quarter.

Pharmaceuticals in focus
AstraZeneca PLC ADR (NASDAQ:AZN) regained some of the ground it lost on Monday after disappointing results from a trial of its lung cancer treatment, rising 3.1%.
