Wall St set for higher open as banking crisis fears ebb


WALL Street's main indexes were set to open higher on Wednesday as easing worries about a banking crisis lifted risk sentiment, while investors await economic data to gauge the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path.

Market worries about stress in the banking system have eased following a U.S. regulator-backed sale of failed lender Silicon Valley Bank's assets as well as lack of fresh signs of trouble in the sector since the buyout deal.
