Responses to the Durable Goods results were limited with the Fed meeting on Wednesday dominating market considerations.
Equities were slightly lower, with the S&P 500 losing 0.47%, the Dow shedding 0.24% and the NASDAQ taking the largest hit,1.2% related to China’s crackdown on some of its largest tech firms.
Treasury yields fell due to the expected continuation of the Fed’s easy money policy and the lack of new information on the prospects for a tapering of the bond program.
The dollar was mixed, gaining against the euro, sterling, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars but falling versus the Japanese yen and Swiss Franc.
