Welcome to today’s Morning Coffee Break – The Federal Reserve decisively stepped off the sidelines with a stronger than expected new round of unlimited quantitative easing (QE3) sending U.S. markets rallying. Market participants are clearly satisfied with the FMOC’s move as U.S. futures are indicating an extension of yesterday’s rally.
Traders are setting their focus on 3 key events today as U.S. market session prepares to open. U.S futures are suggesting positive open with the Dow Jones fair value up by 20.64 and the S&P 500’s fair value higher by 3.34. The NASDAQ is getting nice push higher ahead of Apple’s (APPL, [stock APPL]). Fair value for the NASDAQ is higher by 9.81.
Can U.S. markets move higher after a broad sell off Monday? Two weeks ago trader overcame the broad sell off but future’s today look basically flat in pre-markets with implied opens for Dow Jones at 13.34, S&P 500 0.03 and the NASDAQ at 2.26 as of 8:40 a.m. ET.
