(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange ended up on Tuesday while caution settled on the markets pending a decision of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) on a drop in rates.

The Dow Jones index sold 0.27%, or 125.55 points, to 45,757.90 points. Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, lost -8.52 points, or -0.13% to 6,606.76 points. The Nasdaq Composite fell on its side of -14.79 points, or -0.07% to 22,333.959 points.

Investors still widely anticipate the announcement of a drop in interest rates of 25 basic points at the end of the two -day Fed meeting which will end on Wednesday.

Data published Tuesday by the US trade department showed that retail sales had increased more than expected last month in the United States, which was not enough to change market expectations.

“Any resilient economic data will only reinforce the Fomc (the Fed Monetary Policy Committee) and could encourage (the president of the Fed, Jerome) Powell to be slightly more aggressive than the market hopes,” said Ross Mayfield, an investment strategy analyst at Baird.

Among the major sectors of the S&P-500, those of public services and real estate have fallen.
