Economic Journal - Wednesday, 9/18/2013

(as of 7:15 PST)
 
All eyes are on the Federal Reserve Bank, which is in the final day of a two day meeting, the primary purpose being to set a course to reduce Fed bond buying.  The market seems to have already priced in a mild reduction, but any larger reduction (20 Billion), would likely send interest rates higher and the equity markets lower. Housing starts were up slightly this morning, but slightly below expectations thus no market reaction to the data.  Gold continues downward and oil is up on reduced inventories.  Interest rates are up slightly.
