US futures continue to ramp higher on the sessionBOE leaves bank rate unchanged at 4.00% in September monetary policy decisionWas the Fed decision dovish or hawkish?

Markets:

EUR leads, NZD lags on the dayEuropean equities higher; S&P 500 futures up 0.7%US 10-year yields down 1.6 bps to 4.060%Gold up 0.2% to $3,666.78WTI crude up 0.4% to $64.31Bitcoin up 1.3% to $117,178

Equities bounced back with US futures pointing to solid gains at the open later. S&P 500 futures are up 0.7% with tech shares leading the way, as Nasdaq futures are up 1.0%. That is helping to see European indices jump up as well with the DAX and CAC 40 posting over 1% gains on the day.

Meanwhile, GBP/USD is down after the BOE kept its bank rate unchanged at 4.00%. The pair was holding around 1.3650 earlier but is now down 0.1% on the day to 1.3611 despite not much meaningful change in the BOE communique.

Elsewhere, we are seeing gold also recover some poise after dropping to a low of $3,634 during the session. The precious metal is back up by 0.2% to $3,666 now with dip buyers moving quickly as the post-Fed musings continue to play out.

With the focus returning to US data to either reaffirm market expectations or invalidate them, we'll have a quick test of that later today from the US weekly initial jobless claims. So, that could yet sway the post-Fed mood before we get to the weekend later this week.
