Good morning!

It seems the markets have anticipated the Fed's cut with the US$ moving up to $97.385.

WTIC and Brent are slightly higher by 0.38% and 0.30% respectively, while natgas dropped 3.71% to $2.98.

Moving inversely to the dollar, gold and silver are weak, lower by 1.13% and 0.44%.

The economic indicator, Dr. Copper, is down by 0.98% to $4.5868.

Platinum and palladium are beating to a different drummer, moving higher by 1.25% and 0.68%.

From Bloomberg:

Arguably the biggest surprise from yesterday’s Federal Reserve interest rate decision was that there was only one dissenting vote. Chair Jerome Powell managed to rally a deeply divided committee and tune out heavy political pressure to find middle ground. It’s clear the Fed chair “corralled the cats,” said KPMG’s Diane Swonk. But can the central bank’s independence survive Donald Trump?

Now that the Fed has done what everyone expected, investors are asking if the economy is strong enough to fuel more gains. Stock futures rose, but questions remain about the pace of rate cuts. FedEx earnings today may offer some clues: One theory suggests industrials and transports must rise in tandem to confirm a rally. Yet, while the Dow has hit record after record, transports have lagged—an ominous signal that the market’s surge may lack staying power.
