Fed pledge rallies assets of all types As was WIDELY expected, the Fed refrained from making any interest rate policy changes.

Look for my column "Futures for You" Equity market bulls looked to simply "throw in the towel" following this afternoon's Fed announcement. Although the Fed didn't have anything new, or surprising, the realization that QE3 might be off the table triggered massive selling in risky assets.

Most people I talk to are surprised by recent strength in the equity markets, but they probably shouldn't be. After all, this is the third time the market has managed to rally to this area following a massive sell-off to, or just below, 1100.
