The Federal Reserve has begun two days of the meeting , where the result of the gradual reduction of monetary stimulus will be decided . Currently the U.S. Fed engages in QE where they purchase $ 85 billion in bonds every month. As the U.S. economy seems to be stabilizing , tapering is now on the cards and investors are waiting to find out when and by how much. Asian stocks and European stock markets were both before the decision will be given tomorrow. The Hang Seng is down by 0.35 % and the Nikkei 225 has dropped by 0.65 %. U.S. stocks closed higher after Lawrence Summers retired as a candidate to be the next president of the Federal Reserve. As he was the most aggressive candidate for tapers seem like a slower approach can now be decided, because the most likely candidate is Janet Yellen. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.86 % and the S & P 500 by 0.76 %.

WTI continues to decline as oil terminals in Mexico reopened after the threat of Hurricane Ingrid disappeared. Oil production in Libya is also recovering after talks between the Libyan government and the striking workers . Gold has been trading volatile as investors hesitant ahead of the FOMC announcement tomorrow and the direction the market can not be seen until after the decision.

We can not see the markets made significant moves after the announcement of the FOMC so this should be focused on binary options traders.
