After witnessing a volatile week where major U.S. indices closed over 2% higher, market participants are keenly watching out for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy decision due this week. 

The core personal consumption expenditures price index has risen 0.5% from the previous month and 5.1% from a year ago. Although this is still on the higher side, the figures have come in line with expectations, giving some relief to the markets in the hope that the central bank will reduce its pace of rate hikes going forward. Here’s a look at five stocks that traders are keeping an eye on ahead of the new week.
