Ahead of the FOMC decision there were modest signs of profit taking as stock markets edged lower, the US dollar rose and gold dipped. As usual, it was mostly sideways trading until the decision.

A particularly notable headline was him calling it a 'risk management' cut and saying they will be data dependent going forward. He balanced that by saying inflation risks had diminished since April but there were a few minutes of very aggressive US equity selling.

The FX moves were more-notable as USD/JPY was at 146.25 ahead of the FOMC, fell to 145.50 and is now trading at a session high of 147.02.

It usually takes some time for Fed moves to shake out. Current pricing is for 43.7 bps in easing before year end with that December meeting being a real wild-card. Historically though, when the Fed starts cutting, it tends to continue cutting.
