    Not sure, could very well be a non event. We will get the press conference after the FED announcement though, so whatever Powell will say could still move the market although the rate hike is widely expected. Will see, I am hoping we will see some movement and volatility :D

    IBB has bigger biotech companies, right? Big biotechs like REGN, GILD, and CELG are having a pretty bad year

    Initial reaction is slightly negative after the more agressive dot plot by the FED, market now mostly lower. Bank stocks are higher though on higher yields

    EEM near LOD, stronger dollar most likely is bad for emerging market stocks

    Dollar really backing off from the highs especially against the Euro :eek: I guess investors now begin to look to the ECB announcement tomorrow in Europe with the FED out of the way now :D

    coming back down to where I exited now - If I was emotionally trading I might've gotten back in around 13.94. Keep the emotions out of trading!

    Mr. Powell announced that he will begin holding a news conference after every monthly Fed meeting [beginning January 2019].
    Right now, markets only anticipate rate increases to occur at the [quarterly] meetings that are followed by a question-and-answer session. Shifting to a news conference after every meeting would give officials more flexibility on when to raise rates
