The markets started the week pushing to record highs as investors await the Fed meeting this week. It is widely anticipated that the Fed will begin to reduce its balance sheet as it unwinds from the financial collapse of 2008. This sent the Dow 30 higher by 65, the S&P 500 higher by 3, and the Nasdaq 100 up 6. Tomorrow investors will get a look at housing starts which can be a market mover but all eyes will turn to Wednesday's meeting.
