Two things will be of particular interest in today&#8217;s minutes. In March, how close was the Fed to hike by 50 basis points? In his press conference following the meeting, Fed Chair Powell assured the audience that the minutes will provide more detail on how the runoff of QE holdings built over the past few years will proceed.<\/p><p>During the London session, the UK PMI construction report will provide the latest sector update.

Brent did not take out yesterday\u2019s low and that essentially had dipped into support, so I am looking for a break of yesterday\u2019s highs and possibly a break towards the $115 per barrel. A stop loss under the lows from yesterday would be where my idea is invalidated. To support this idea not only is price action attempting to make a base, but the moving averages are still stacked bullishly and a break above the 20-period EMA could release the momentum to the upside.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market Brief See real-time quotes provided by our partner.
