The Federal Open Market Committee just made a press release following their two-day meeting.  The text can be read at the Federal Reserve Web site.

I will provide some additional reading material from the WSJ shortly (because I love their "Parsing the Fed" series).  For now, the key verbiage in the statement is below:

Recent indicators have suggested somewhat firmer economic growth, and some tentative signs of stabilization have appeared in the housing market. Overall, the economy seems likely to expand at a moderate pace over coming quarters.

In other words, housing's "stabilization" isn't expected to lead to runaway economic growth.

Markets like this news and are retreating a bit off their highest levels since October.
