US indexes with new records, Fed hinted at a December rate hike

Fully expected, Fed retained interest rates yesterday after the two-day meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee. This led to a rise for US indices, with the S&P 500 broad index closed up by 0.16%, to 2 579.36 points.
The Dow Jones blue chip index rose by 140 points at one point, but eventually ended with an increase of 57 points to a level of 23,435 points.
Technological Nasdaq lagged behind its performance, down by 0.2 percent to 6,716.53 points, driven by a 1.3 percent decline in Apple's stock.
Fed responded to the average market expectations and kept the interest rate unchanged. Only 1.5% of analysts forecasted higher interest rates. But the Fed has left the door open for December's interest rate hike. Expectations for this are already nearly 100%, according to CME's FedWatch.
