The main US stock indices started today’s trading today below yesterday's close. Despite an attempt to rebound in the first minutes of the session, the sellers did not give up and in the following hours we can observe a deepening downward move. No key macro data (apart from US PPI inflation) that could be a direct cause of today's sell-off. Investors are clearly concerned about tomorrow's Federal Reserve decision. The US central bank is expected to announce an acceleration in the pace of QE tapering, which may directly translate into faster interest rate hikes in the US.
