• This morning, markets are continuing their measured reaction to the historic Fed meeting that saw the first 0.25% increase since the financial crisis. The increase was in-line with expectations, but more importantly, the forward guidance suggested moderate increases from here. The latter again was largely expected, giving the dollar a moderate but firm boost yesterday and today. The dollar broke above the recent trading range, while the USD/JPY is rising back towards the middle of its recent range.
• The euro is pulling back again this morning, in line with most other dollar pairs such as the pound.
• Oil prices rose briefly yesterday, but have since fallen back towards record lows.
Coming up today:
• Coming up today we have German Ifo business climate.
• This is followed by UK retail sales at 09.30.
• From 13.30 we switch to the US for Philly Fed manufacturing and unemployment claims.
Trade Idea:
• The Canadian dollar suffered again yesterday with the Fed hike, driving the USD/CAD to new highs again. With the Fed uncertainty out of the way, we could see more upside from here.

A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the USD/CAD will close above 1.4000 in 35 days for a potential return of 241%.
