Major U.S equity benchmarks padded all-time highs, the dollar fell and Treasurys edged lower after Donald Trump gave a speech to the United Nations and as the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting.

The S&P 500 Index climbed for a third day, though equities remain stuck in one of the tightest ranges in decades. The CBOE Volatility Index slumped toward 10. Europe’s equity benchmark followed many Asian peers lower, while Japanese shares surged after a holiday.

The pound swung before jumping after a report Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson may resign should Prime Minister Theresa May oppose his Brexit demands. The euro rose for a fourth day, while the dollar slipped against all but one of its G-10 peers. Benchmark WTI crude fell below $50 per barrel.

Financial markets remained largely calm on Tuesday as Trump’s speech to the UN did little to alter views on the tensions over North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. Attention will turn to Wednesday’s Fed decision, with a focus on details on unwinding part of the central bank’s $4.5 trillion balance sheet.

“We are not overly concerned about” the Fed’s quantitative-tightening plans, Merrill Lynch and U.S. Trust head of fixed-income strategy Matthew Diczok told Bloomberg TV. “If you model it out, over about the next three years they’ll take out about $1.3 trillion or so. That’s only a third of what they put into the market. So it’s going to be very slow, very gradual, very deliberate and it shouldn’t lead to any near-term fireworks into the market at all.”
