Only 11% of fund managers expect the Fed to taper this week, survey finds.

London market makers have done a great job of painting a series of lower highs and lower lows all morning. Nice preparation for a rip this afternoon.

what if they do a very small taper, may be 5bill? think bullard was hinting of something like his, not sure what fed puppet hilsenrath has said

It was September. And it's not likely the Germans know anything that the rest of the world dont. Having said that Nikkei was up 2% overnight.
It's just the FTSE lagging as usual.

Something I hadn't been paying attention to is s&p down 5 out of last 6 trading days.

Also there is still a 6 point gap to fill from Mondays gap open (unlike Dax and Dow S&P likes to fill gaps).

Its going to be fun this afternoon.

My personal opinion (and you know I'm not afraid to give it solicited or not).
No taper, and wording to suggest taper starts in March.

Any other views?
