Summary
US equities opened in chop mode, and broadly stayed that way into the 2pm press release from Print Central. As expected, the fed raised rates 25bps to a new target range of 1.75-2.00%. Most notable, is that fed consensus is for FOUR hikes this year. This is something of a surprise, although at the start of this year, yours truly did call for four hikes.

Volatility remained very subdued, settling in the upper 12s. Near term outlook offers the sp'2750s, with 'minimum technical necessity' of sp'2718, and that would arguably equate to 15/16s.
