The S&amp;P 500 is up 2.1% and the Russell 2000 up nearly 5%.</p><p>The FX market hasn't sat this one out at all, with the dollar sinking hard and finding new lows at the moment. Big gainers include the antipodeans, euro and pound. </p><p>Cable is up 219 pips to the best levels since mid-September.</p><p>Fed officials have been trying to keep the option to hike on the table but it looks like they won't have that choice.
