Apple shares drop $27B in 2 sessions, Coinbase sees biggest daily loss in 2 months.
The US indices closed with collective gains in Tuesday’s session amid investors’ anticipation of inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s decision next week.

Data from Fedwatch indicates that the probability of a 25 basis point interest rate hike reached around 22.9%, compared to 77.1% for keeping them unchanged.
