(Reuters) – U.S. stock futures edged higher ahead of an interest-rate decision by the Federal Reserve on Thursday, building on a sharp rally set off by Donald Trump’s stunning comeback as U.S. president for a second time. Traders have about fully priced in a 25-basis point rate cut, but will keep a close watch on the central bank’s policy statement for any clues on the future path of monetary easing. “Futures prices suggest it will be a much quieter day today on the US markets, albeit still with some gains,” said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. “Investors might…

Image source: Getty Images After slumping 21.36% in a year, the BP (LSE: BP) share price needs a kick up the backside. Is incoming US President Donald Trump the man to deliver it? During the election, Trump made it clear he would green light more domestic drilling on day one of his presidency. Most observers expect him to shove net zero ambitions aside, axe funding for renewables, and drill, drill, drill for fossil fuels.
