· Wall Street ended higher on Tuesday as the impact of weekend attacks on Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil refinery faded and investors awaited a widely expected Fed interest rate cut on Wednesday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI edged up 0.12% to end at 27,109.03 points, while the S&P 500 .SPX gained 0.26% to 3,005.61.

The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 0.4% to 8,186.02.

Investors will also wait for clues on how far the U.S. monetary policy easing would go, given that Fed policymakers are deeply divided on whether more rate cuts are warranted.

· European stocks closed slightly lower Tuesday as investors monitored the fallout from the weekend attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil supply.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed provisionally almost 0.1% lower, paring losses after dropping as much as 0.5% earlier in the day. Bank shares were the worst performers, down 1.9%, while food and beverages stocks led gains with a 1% rise.

· Stocks in Asia Pacific were little changed in Wednesday morning trade as investors await the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, set to be released later stateside.

The Nikkei 225 in Japan was little changed in early trade, while the Topix fell 0.31%. Data showed Wednesday that Japan’s exports fell 8.2% year-on-year in August, less than expectations of a 10.9% decrease by economists in a Reuters poll.

Over in Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 traded flat.

Overall, the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index was up 0.06%.
