June 13 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set to open lower on Monday, mirroring a selloff in global stock markets as investors fled to safe-haven assets ahead of the Brexit vote.
Britain's chances of leaving the European Union stood at their highest since the June 23 referendum was announced four months ago. Street is likely to be a little off today on some nervousness around the Brexit vote," said John Brady, managing director of institutional sales at R.J. Brien & Associates in Chicago.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to decide when to raise interest rates for the second time in nearly a decade.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen, who had been dropping hints of a rate hike most of last month, was more vague last week on its timing after dismal May hiring data and a possible Brexit raised concerns about the strength of the economy.
Traders have reduced the odds of a hike this month to 1 percent and the one in July to 33 percent, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
Banks, which stand to benefit most if the Fed raises interest rates, were lower in premarket trading on Monday. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) BAC.N was down 1.6 percent while Citigroup (NYSE:C) C.N and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) JPM.N were off 0.5 percent.
"There is nothing much the Fed can do after the May employment data and the non-manufacturing data came in very very poor. So they'll try and spin it as 'We just have to wait and see how things develop'," Brady said.
