U.S. stocks futures recovered some of their losses from the Monday selloff ahead of the start of the Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting.

Monday’s drop was the biggest daily decline in four months, fuelled by growing concerns over risks in China.
The Evergrande conglomerate is still facing a likely default, even as chairman Hui Ka Yuan vowed that the company would “walk out of its darkest moment” and resume full-scale operation as soon as possible.

The news made mainstream media and likely brought attention to the company.
