After a rough start to the week, markets appear to have righted themselves in the wake of the Evergrande mess. Each of the major U.S. indexes posted a gain of at least 1% Wednesday, with at least half of the trading day over. Looking ahead, investors are anticipating that the Federal Reserve’s policy, which will be announced Wednesday afternoon, will be reflective of this week’s events.
