Market is reversing rapidly after Federal Reserve meeting minutes release

Minutes released from Federal Reserve meeting held on December 13th, suggest a near end in interest rate hikes. That policy has been in place for about 2 years, and since June 2004, the Fed has raised rates 13 times pushing prime to 4.25%, the highest it has been in 4.5 years.

The most important change was that the Fed dropped language, describing interest rates as being too low, or accommodating. It usually signals that there are quite a few hikes still to come. Market responded immediately completely reversing itself from the morning decline.
