Investing.com -- The TSX traded in the red this morning, tracking Wall Street indices lower as investors await a busy week ahead chock full of megacap earnings, and a monetary policy announcement from the US Federal Reserve due Wednesday. 

Investors are expecting a 25 bps move from the Fed this week, hoping for a slowdown in the central bank’s monetary policy tightening ahead, and realizing profits ahead of the move, weighing on growth stocks. Tech stocks are also under pressure ahead of a downbeat outlook and earnings expected from companies including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL). 

The commodity heavy Canadian index was further pressured by crude prices as Russian supply remains steady, and investors worry about global demand ahead of rate-hikes expected by the Fed, Bank of England, and European central bank.
