Big big beat of expectations and that's some icing on the cake for Fed hike traders.
The immediate impact was in broad USD strength but while USDJPY is maintaining that, cable and the euro have given some back.
USDJPY up to 114.61, Cable at 1.2170 from a quick drop to 1.2142. Be careful that we don't see this USD rally sold into by the same sort of profit takers we saw after Yellen last week.
