Markets: need to digest FOMC

The S&P500 and the US$ index have yet to take any new direction from FOMC and seem to need time to digest the implications of the Fed Chair Powell statement. There are two rate updates today from the BoJ and BoE, as well as Aussie Employment data, so watch to see if any of these items get things moving.

 

Data: watch today with AUD Unemployment data, the BoJ rate update, the BoE rate update and USD weekly Unemployment and Hosing starts data..
