Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: The Federal Reserve‘s policy statement introduced “patience” into the rate-hike parlance, catapulting the S&P 500 up 2%, its biggest percentage gain this year. Energy stocks led the rally as crude-oil prices stabilized. Russian ETFs also bounced back after that country’s central bank announced a raft of measures to ease banking regulations. Gold failed to maintain its upward momentum, however, after the Fed statement. Bonds tumbled from recent highs.
