[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +7.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +32.00.The S&P 500 futures are up 7 points and are trading 0.2% above fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are up 32 points and are trading 0.2% above fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 35 points and are trading 0.1% above fair value.
Stock futures are slightly positive ahead of the FOMC policy decision today at 2:00 p.m. ET followed by Fed Chair Powell's press conference at 2:30 a.m. ET. There is perhaps a glint of hope in the market that the Fed might pause today rather than raise rates given what happened yesterday with regional bank stocks or that any rate hike today will be the last in the cycle.
PacWest (PACW) and Western Alliance (WAL), some of yesterday's biggest losers, have been volatile this morning. They have bounced back from larger losses seen earlier in premarket trading, which has helped calm things down a bit. Price action in the regional bank space will continue to be in focus for market participants.

8:15 ET: April ADP Employment Change (Briefing.com consensus 142,000; prior 145,000)

10:00 ET: April ISM Non-Manufacturing Index (Briefing.com consensus 51.9%; prior 51.2%)
10:30 ET: Weekly crude oil inventories (prior -5.05 mln)
