Wall Street opens with a modest but positive tone, continuing the recovery that began late afternoon yesterday. Markets are bracing for the Fed decision, which will almost certainly result in a 50 basis point hike. However, there is still a mystery in the form of how the Fed will approach asset balance sheet reduction. However, it appears that the balance sheet reduction will proceed in a similar manner as last time, which should not lead to further declines on Wall Street. If the Fed will not be more hawkish than it is now, there is a chance that investors will realize profits after the recent declines. EURUSD is already starting a slightly larger rebound. The S&P 500 is gaining only 0,19% at the start, while the Nasdaq is lower by 0,22%. After the session on Wall Street AMD will release its financial results (AMD.US).
US100 managed to return above 13000 points. However, a return above 13300 points is needed to start a larger recovery on Wall Street. On the other hand, a drop below 12800 could open the way to the 12000-12400 zone. Source: xStation5
