Morning Notes

US futures are slightly lower this morning and European stocks are trading lower after the rally in US markets after the FOMC released their announcement after their 2 day policy meeting which left interest rates unchanged. Today’s economic data will give further insight on the actual strength of the US economy and better gauge the timing of a rate increase. Asian markets closed mixed across the board.
