US Market Decision Expected Today Impacting Global Stock Markets

The record

Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Stock markets in the US, India and across Asia have been falling amid pressure ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision expected today.
On Tuesday, the Nasdaq fell 0.50 percent, the Dow Jones dropped 0.63 percent, the S&P slipped 0.5 percent, and India's Nifty50 shed nearly 300 points.
Experts expect the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates by 20 to 25 basis points, taking the rate from 3.75 percent to 4.00 percent, with the announcement possible on Wednesday night.
Experts say a rate hike would hit US markets on Wednesday night and Indian and Asian markets on Thursday, while a rate cut could bring a rally.
Markets are also worried about a bill that could allow the US President to impose up to 100 percent tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas, with India's rising oil imports from Russia potentially affected.
The Fed decision matters because a rate hike could pull down gold and silver prices quickly, while a cut could push them up.
