2pm update - got a spare minute?

FOMC minutes are due at 2pm..and that will probably seal the fate of the market for the next 5-7 trading days. The levels are clear, a basic retracement would be somewhere around 1490/80. Metals remain especially vulnerable, not least if the dollar manages to break into the USD 81s.
