Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 4/05US indexes came under fire after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 0.25%. Expect that Europe will play catchup and see weakness on the open. The Fed have now moved to a data dependant stance and could possibly pause in June if economic data comes in weaker...this is not so good for bulls as it would point to a weakening US economy.
Gold punched up into new all time highs after the US close while Oil and US bond yields dumped.
Expecting a weaker open for Asian markets with the ASX200 to open down 25/30 points, Nikkei will have to wait to play catchup as the underlying index is closed, and the Hang Seng to open up 25/30 points.
With the FOMC statement changed slightly, traders will be focused on economic data and a slowing US economy...so expect to hear the word 'recession' a lot more.
