Stocks Recover Fed-Induced Slip

EQUITIES
  • Wall Street fell sharply in the immediate response to the Fed decision, with the e-mini S&P shedding over 35 points in the immediate response to hit 4,200.75.

  • European indices were more mixed, with Germany's DAX and Spain's IBEX-35 lagging, while the UK FTSE-100 and France's CAC-40 outperformed - albeit only slightly.
