The Fed also plans to increase its balance sheet run off to $20 billion in January.

  • Fed raises interest rates at Yellen's last meeting as chair

    From businessinsider.com

    The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate as widely expected. The central bank's Federal Open Market Committee voted after a two-day meeting to increase the fed funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 1.25%-1.50%. The Chicago Fed's Charles Evans and Minneapolis Fed's Neel Kashkari voted against the decision. This would eventually lift the interest rates banks charge for various consumer-credit products like mortgages and loans.

Keep your pants on -----------> it is an in line correction because price has been falling before now so you should expect this strong rise to allow for a sustained fall. Price is nonmonotonic (that is very important to appreciate). This has nothing to do with news but everything to do with players who have good market visibility and are making very rational bets. But we are going down and you can take that to the bank.

Yep. They accumulated long all week into bottom edge then smashed all the retailers that thought a free ride was gong to happen. Retailers will never make it thinking linear. Its a game of accumulation and distribution. All in plain sight too.
