The S&P 500 closed the day higher as it continues it’s epic surge higher this month. To date, we’re up more than 8% on the month. With that said, the FOMC meeting was as expected. They decided not to touch the key interest rates, but will revisit the idea in December.

Earlier this morning we had earnings results out of Walgreens (WBA) -10.7%, Starwood Hotels (HOT) +6.2%, and T-Mobile (TMUS).

The VIX continues to get clobbered, it was down more than 7%, now trading at 14.33.

The energy sector was strong; the United States Oil Fund (USO) was up nearly 7% today. It will be interesting to see if it rallies along with the market. There has been some dislocation between the energy and equity markets over the last month.

On the options front, we saw bullish call buying in Flextronics (FLEX). We saw bearish option activity in Oasis Petroleum (OAS).

This evening we got earnings results from GoPro (GPRO) -11%, Amgen (AMGN) +1.3%, and Paypal (PYPL) -3%.
