Bonds were crushed today while equity markets moved higher today in response to better than expected news on the employment front with the ADP December index showing a gain of 279,000 versus 92,000 previously and the December ISM at 57.1 versus 55 prior.
 
The FOMC meeting showed the Fed sticking to their QE2 plans while world food prices spiked to a record high and now stand at levels that triggered riots in the emerging world in 2008.
 
Interest continued their recent rise and the dolllar strengthened, causing an ongoing selloff in precious metals and commodities.
 
The new Congress began their work and the discussion is already turning to the Federal debt ceiling and how/when/how much to raise/not raise it.
