Good morning. Equity futures are broadly flat, we're set to open at sp'1978. The USD is a little higher, +0.2% in the DXY 95.70s. Metals are trying to rally, Gold +$2, whilst Oil is +1.4% in the $45s... ahead of the latest EIA report.

Summary
The FOMC meet today... but the announcement is not until tomorrow at 2pm. I suppose there is always threat of a leak.... or just an old school rumour that someone knows.
In any case, I remain of the view that the market will ramp.. regardless of decision. From a technical perspective, this market looks set for the sp'2000s... probably 2040 or so... before next rollover.

Overnight China action: For almost 95% of the day.. China was in moderate chop mode.. but then exploded higher into the close. The Shanghai comp' settled +4.9% @ 3152. Further upside to the 3400/500s looks due... before the 2500/2000 zone.

Yours truly is somewhat focused on Oil. The Tuesday API report showed a net draw down... if the EIA report shows anything -3 million barrels or more... Oil should break into the $46s... and keep going into the weekly close.
USO, 60min
*in pre-market, USO is +1.4% @ $14.78. I'd like an exit >15.50 or so, 16s would be great... but clearly, that is not viable until tomorrow... or more likely Friday/early next week.
Have a good Wednesday
