Yesterday, the FOMC Meeting Minutes were released following the Feds two day meeting. Following the release US stocks declined.

Asian markets were mixed. The Nikkei climbed 0.647% as the Dollar strengthened against the Yen after the FOMC statement.

European markets are lower today. The German Unemployment Change was released and was significantly better than expected. Investors instead, focused on the Fed statement and sentiment dropped.

Oil climbed after the EIA released inventory data. The data showed supplies to increase by a lower amount than expected.

Gold lost its appeal as a safe haven asset as the Fed showed confidence in the economy. Many are now speculating that the Fed could be inclined to raise rates sooner and this dampens the appeal further.

US stocks rallied yesterday ahead of the FOMC statement. Investors widely expect the Federal Reserve to end their quantitative easing program today. However, interest rates should remain the same. Earnings season has also been mostly positive and traders have welcomed results which have eased fears of an economic slowdown.

Here are 5 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:


 1) The End of Stimulus

The Fed is expected to announce the conclusion of its massive stimulus program this afternoon. The quantitative easing program, which lasted for six years, is widely credited with supporting the economy and driving investors back into stocks in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

In addition to the expected stimulus announcement, the Fed is also set to give more details about plans for interest rates at 2pm ET. Most investors believe the first rate hike won't occur before June 2015, and many are betting it won't happen until the end of next year or later.

Any surprise announcements could have a big impact on trading.

US stock futures were relatively flat ahead of the major Fed announcements.


 2) Facebook Flop

Shares in Facebook (FB, Tech30) are off by about 7% premarket after executives revealed plans to ramp up spending next year. Expenses in 2015 are expected to rise by as much as 75% versus the current year, which is irking investors.

Premarket data shows Facebook's fall is dragging down the Nasdaq.


3) Russia-Ukraine Gas Talks

Investors are keeping a close eye on Russia-Ukraine energy negotiations. Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and Ukrainian Energy Minister Yurii Prodan will attempt to hash out a temporary contract for Russia to deliver gas to Ukraine over the winter. This is a contentious matter since Russia completely cut off gas supplies to Ukraine a few months ago.


4) International Markets Overview

Major European markets are edging up in early trading.

Asian markets mostly ended with gains. The Shanghai Composite index led the pack with a 1.5% jump.


5) Tuesday Market Recap

US stocks closed higher at the close of the previous trading session. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 188 points, nearly erasing its October losses. The S&P 500 closed 1.2% higher and the Nasdaq was up 1.8%

US stocks were mixed yesterday but with little change. Sentiment was hit by falling oil prices. Trade was also subdued as investors are awaiting the result of the two day FOMC meeting beginning today. It is widely expected that the Federal Reserve will finish their bond buying program this month. However, investors are mostly waiting to hear any clues regarding increasing interest rates sooner than currently expected.

Asian stocks were also mixed today as the Dollar traded lower against the Yen. Traders were also apprehensive before Central bank meetings from both currencies. The Bank of Japan will be meeting on Friday.

European markets are higher today following earnings reports.

Oil dropped to its support level at 80.00 once again but bounced straight off it, while gold continues to trade sideways ahead of the FOMC Statement. Any hawkish remarks would be bullish for the Dollar and negative for Gold.  Traders should watch US data today as it could provide short term trading opportunities.
