Market’s certainly received a fresh tank of fuel overnight as Janet Yellen, on behalf of the Federal Reserve, provided more clarity around their goals in raising interest rates in the future. The removal of the word ‘Patient’ and a focus on raising rates in a measured way, providing a much needed boost to the S&P500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, Crude Oil and even Gold but did no favours for the US Dollar as it fell over 500 pips before bouncing back, closing down around 230 pips by the end of the session. The fall in the US Dollar was the worst one day loss since 2009. The Aussie 200 index saw life flow back into it as our index rose an incredible 1.8 per cent for the day with all sectors in the green except for Information Technology. The Aussie Dollar also bounced on the weakening US Dollar and currently sits at 0.7730.
How did the Aussie market perform today?
S&P/ASX200 gained 108.5 points or +1.82% on volume of $6.61 billion, closing at 5950.8.
