EURUSD: The EURUSD moved from 1.0865 to a new day high at 1.0881. The price has since come back down to 1.0867 as I type.
GBPUSD: The moved from 1.2442 to a New York session high of 1.2468. The price currently trades between those levels at 1.2454
USDJPY: The USDJPY move down only about 12 pips from 106.68 to 106.56
In the US stock market, the NASDAQ index was up about 302 points at the time of the announcement. It is currently up around 280 points. The Dow was up 550 points. It is currently trading up around 490 points. Finally, the S&P index was up about 79 points. It is currently up around 71 points.
