June 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set to open loweron Tuesday, with futures tracking all three major indexes in the redas investors were cautious ahead ofcrucial inflation data and a policy announcement from the Federal Reserve expected this week.
The S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq .IXIC posted record closing highs on Monday in a choppy session, boosted by shares of Nvidia NVDA.O after its 10-for-one stock split.
Markets are readying for Wednesday's release of the Consumer Price Index report for May andthe conclusion of the Fed's two-day policy meeting.
"There's an abnormal amount of anxiety around these numbers and around the Fed meeting, particularly after the jobs report on Friday," said Thomas Hayes, chairman at Great Hill Capital LLC.
The central bank is not expected to change rates but will release its updated economic projections and "dot plot", which shows where policymakers expect interest rates to stand over the next few years and longer term.
The CPI numbers and the Fed's projections will be closely scrutinized as recent reports have given conflicting signals on theeconomy's underlying health.
"If they (Fed policymakers) take down growth a bit, then they will have cover to keep two dots on the dot plot, which would be very bullish for markets. So this trepidation you're seeing is a fear of what if that doesn't happen," Hayes said.
Markets are pricing in a nearly 53% chance of theFed's first rate cut happening inSeptember, according to the CME's FedWatch tool. Rate futures also imply just one cut this year, compared to two before Friday's bumperNonfarm Payrolls data. FEDWATCH
