no, the fed was a nonevent. The short term rates had already predicted the 0.25% increase.

GE met with analysts today and said sustainable double-digit growth starting in Q4 and better than expected revenue growth of 10% (consensus was 7%) can be expected. The whole US Stock market rallied on the news.

You also have to realize that tightening by the Feds may actually be bullish for these markets, because investors may see this as the Feds preventing inflation and therefore creating a positive investment environment... this is why trading on fundamentals is impossible, any single event can be argued on both sides of the fence...
