going to the markets desk where julie hyman has a look at what is going on. have seen the reaction that is largely a positive one for risk assets. the highest the session. the s&p 500 now breaching 2000 for the first time since the sharp selloff in august. it had made a couple of runs to 2000 and then sailed around that level. this movement mirrored in the other major averages. the dow, which had been the leader, nonetheless rising to the highs of the session as well. imagese basically mirror of the variouses industries. even though there does not aim to be anything that new or revealing in the minutes, more of confirmation of what market participants have been talking lookinghat the fed is at global risk. the fed officials say it is likely to see an increase at the

end of the year. the nasdaq, which had been the laggard of the day turning positive. a little bit of a delayed reaction, but definitely a positive one and all was said and done. that is equities, but what about other asset classes we saw a movement behind the other asset classes. if you look in the dollar, treasuries, gold, what have you. starting with the dollar, a little bit more of a comeback move in the dow. in other words, the dow initially falling on their perception rates will stay low, but then bouncing and then seeing that movement happen in the treasury market as well. we saw the 10 year yields move lower, and then move higher. a little bit of a curious situation, the reed versus stocks. also, the interesting note from hsbc earlier saying i've and

2016 rates will fall to 1.5%. looking at gold prices as well to see what the reaction has been there. there you saw an increase in gold prices. then a decline in gold prices. ,t is a little bit confounding the reaction overall to the fed minutes. just the mention we will have all color earnings after the close so we kick off another quarter of earnings releases. julie: something else investors are looking forward to. pimm: now, a check on headlines on the first words news this afternoon. not going to mark crumpton. a stunning development on capitol hill, house majority leader kevin mccarthy no longer in the running to succeed outgoing speaker john boehner. minute before -- minutes before party voting, mccarthy dropped his bombshell. he told fellow republicans he is not the rant -- not the right

a pretty big is deal. there is a lot of questions about whether it is a good thing or bad thing, but i think it is an unequivocally good thing for japan. japan has very few protectionist toicies when it relates manufacturing. they're not losing domestic protections, but they are gaining a lot of low-end tariffs around the world. the u.s. applies 25% tariff on japanese-matrox. 3% on tvs. these are about 50% of the manufactured goods. the japanese manufacturers that have been struggling lately, this is a real shot in the arm. if we can do it -- get the deal done, i think it will be a big plus. pimm: if you are an investor will beieves the tpp accepted and approved by the u.s. congress, is there an investment to be made. do you need to change the
