Treasury prices are up a bit after traders in Japan returned from their long weekend. Oil extended its rally with prices pushing north of $50 a barrel as supply has fallen in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, while equities are mixed ahead of tomorrow’s Fed meeting. The market is not expecting the Fed to move the target rate higher at the meeting but investors are expecting the official announcement of balance sheet reduction. Given how transparent the central bank has been regarding their plan, the market reaction should be fairly subdued.
