European close: Trepidation ahead of the Fed decision

On the day:

  • Stoxx 600 -0.5%
  • German DAX flat
  • Francis CAC -0.5%
  • UK’s FTSE 100 -0.7%
  • Spain’s Ibex -0.1%
  • Italy’s FTSE MIB -0.4%

There was a nice run-up into the Fed decision but there is some angst ahead of today’s announcement in many markets. That’s usually a good thing as the Fed often delivers dovish surprises (though the bar for that is certainly high today).
