Earlier Britain’s claimant count change for the month of October printed better than expected reading of -36.7K. ILO Unemployment Rate (3M) for the month of October also remained better than forecast with 7.4%. Later in the US session we have some very crucial fundamental events in-line that include Fed interest rate decision, Fed decision about asset purchase program, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) economic projections and then Fed's monetary policy statement followed by press conference.
