Fed officials did not show their reservations about the tapering plan. Lockhart had a mixed view, he probably wants improved job conditions and inflation to pick up though sounding optimistic about the growth prospects in USA. Similar opinion was viewed by Plosser, as he said the economy is on a "firmer footing" than few years back. Fisher too endorsed that the economy is making progress, both are FED voting members thus year. This is huge confidence that has been shown towards US economic recovery.
Earlier, market was trying to have feel about the release of Retail sales data, which was better than expectation that rose by 0.2 pct. Auto sales surging by 0.7 pct against 0.4 pct rise. Gradually the mood of the market is once gain turning Bullish, leaving aside the last weeks poor Payroll data.
In the absence on any major release of data from Europe, I think today's FED Beige Book will give another feeler about the US economic condition as the report is gathered by 12-Fed Reserve Districts. This is voting members an important report, which is combined and released after gathering views from economist and experts on economy. Sentiment is once gain gradually turning Bullish. US Bond Yields, Gold & JPY has reacted.
