Good MorningWall Street got what it wanted from the Fed. The FOMC held rates unchanged and indicated an easy money policy would remain in effect for an extended period. Within the statement, Fed officials say that economic activity is well below pre-COVID levels but employment has picked up in recent weeks. The outlook is promising but depends solely on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and timing of any treatments or vaccines.
The statement release sparked some intraday volatility but nothing major for investors to worry about. The S&P 500, up about 1.0% going into the release, was able to maintain that level despite a few ticks of volatility immediately after. By the end of the day, the S&P 500 was closing near the highs of the session, and confirming the market melt-up is still in-progress with attention focused on earnings. /Speaking of earnings, the 2nd quarter season hits full boil after the bell with reports from four of the five FAANG stocks.
