U.S. futures were higher on Tuesday, pointing to a recovery on Wall Street a day after a steep selloff, as investors turned their focus to the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting kicking off later in the day.

All three indexes closed in the red on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 4.8% for the year. If Wall Street fails to recover, it will be the worst year since 2008.

With the Fed widely expected to deliver its fourth rate hike this year at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Wednesday market moves will be guided by its forward guidance.

Senior Fed officials, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, have recently become more cautious about the policy outlook that underlined a shift in market sentiment from a few months ago on rising signs of a slackening in the global economy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the Fed for raising rates and said Monday that “it was incredible” the central bank is “even considering yet another interest rate hike.”
