STOCKS: The Nikkei 225 is back on a recovering rally up 169.42pts at 20479.88,
this is the highest level seen in over 2 years. As the FOMC announced it's
hawkish strategy and progression for the US economy with rate hikes for December
firmly on the table and B/S reduction commencing next month, the dollar rallied
and divergently the Yen fell. 
- 10 out of 11 sectors on the Nikkei are in the green with energy being the best
performing sector, Inpex, an oil company, is the biggest contributor
experiencing 8 day highs, this could be attributed to crude oil prices, dropping
after FOMC announcements but coming back up holding above $50pb.
-  All other Asia stocks are up apart from the ASX, Hang Seng up around 40pts
and the ASX 100 down around 55pts, miners hit after fed announcements as U.S
