Having said that, any delay in tapering could see stocks start to sell off with traders possibly fearing that the strength of the economy has not convinced policymakers. It is expected that a larger than forecast taper will also trigger a slide in shares. From a short-term technical perspective, the SPX is perched in the middle of a potential range, with the 1,635 level defining support.

Asian stocks rallied over-night trading near 4-year highs in the run-up to the Federal Reserve QE decision. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index’s 6.8 percent rally in 2013 through yesterday has lagged a 20 percent surge in the S&P 500 Index amid concern economic growth in China is slowing. The Asia-Pacific measure traded yesterday at 13.5 times estimated earnings, compared with a multiple of 15.4 for the S&P 500 and 14.2 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
