August saw the S&P 500 (.SPX), oil (CLc1), and the dollar index (.DXY) form significant lows. However, Fed action, or lack thereof, could jeopardize two out of these three key bottoms.

The FOMC waiting game continues as AUD saw an active session overnight on political developments while the Bank of Japan monetary policy statement entirely failed to make an impression. Risk sentiment remains a bit wobbly, keeping USDJPY near the 120.00 level.

From the FloorTF
As the wait for Thursday's Federal reserve policy decision grinds inexorably onwards (and as journalists the world over run out of synonyms for 'waiting patiently') one could be forgiven for assuming that the price of everything in every market, everywhere, hinges on the immediate outcome of this single event. For equities, however, it's different.
