FOMC Statement coming out

During the session on Wednesday, without a doubt the FOMC Statement is the biggest mover of markets that we coming out. The question isn’t whether or not the Federal Reserve can raise interest rates, but whether or not they will continue to do so. Because of this, the markets might be fairly quiet between now and then.

Germany bounces back

The DAX bounced during the course of the session on Tuesday, cracking above the top of the range for Monday. Because of this, the market looks as if it is going to go higher, and therefore we are call buyers.
