US stocks are approaching a record high and the outlook for Corporate America is only expected to brighten. Now investors are waiting to see if the Federal Reserve derails the market’s bull run.

Amid signs that inflation pressures are finally ebbing, setting up what has historically been a bullish stretch, the S&P 500 Index is a mere 5.4% below its all-time peak. It’s a backdrop that raises the stakes for this week’s pivotal central bank meeting, with economists still debating whether a recession is ahead this year.
