MultiMarket Big Reaction to Fed Announcement

Yesterday’s Fed Announcement that interest rates will likely remain unchanged through most – if not all – of 2015 sent markets moving in expected directions.

A “Risk On” environment altered the intermarket landscape as was logical from the news.

Let’s chart the quad-market grid and note these knee-jerk reactions:

With the Fed remaining on hold, extremely accommodate (in terms of monetary policy), and NOT raising interest rates any time soon, markets enjoyed a wave of rapid “Risk-On” Money Flow.

Stocks burst higher as did Gold and Oil.

The US Dollar was the sacrificial market that boosted these bullish commodity and stock plays.

Specifically:

  • The @ES Futures so far boosted 30 points higher from 2,080 to 2,115;
  • Gold Futures reversed up off support at $1,175 to shatter resistance into the current $1,200 target
  • Oil – after a volatile session – spiked up away from $59.00 toward the current $61.00
  • The Dollar finally broke support at $95.00 to collapse under $94 within a few hours.

Speaking of hours, here’s a slightly broader perspective of the trend and recent reaction:

  • Stocks continue to trade within a bullish-leaning sideways range;
  • Gold rallied up off a base of support into a prior high ($1,200);
  • Oil similarly trades within a bullish-leaning sideways range;
  • The Dollar collapsed to the prior low from May near $93.50;

With all markets at or near key target levels, adjust and trade the reaction away from these target spots.

  1. In my view reactions like these are very much normal, as a trader I am always prepared for such thing since I have got support from 11 times award winning broker OctaFX, it’s a trustable company with having mind blowing features and facilities especially with the rebate service, so even on wrong trade I get huge benefit with getting 15 dollars from every trade, it really works well and helps me to become really successful without even having to worry over winning or losing the trade.
