Yes, it’s a huge session coming up from the US today, beginning at 8.30 am US Eastern time with inflation data and then the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement, complete with an updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), "dot plot", at 2pm, with Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s press conference a half hour later.
Asian traders were more or less content to not do too much and wait on the barrage of info ahead. Plenty will be up late/early to catch it all (ps. Rithmic looks like it’ll be back for the trader-funded folks).
