FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The FOMC couldn’t have been more bland, says Westpac Strategist Sean Callow. After an unchanged statement, with indicates QE3 continues with mid 2015 rates guidance reiterated, the statement was "virtually identical to that from September 13" says Sean. The only slight changes, Sean notes, were: "Household spending has 'advanced a bit more quickly' from'continued to advance'; and inflation 'recently picked up somewhat, reflecting higher energy prices' from 'has been subdued, although the prices of some key commodities have increased recently'. Apart from a few tense and related syntax changes, that was it."
