Early on Thursday morning, the Fed said it will reduce its bond purchases by $US10 billion a month to $US75 billion, starting in January.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broad-based S&P 500 hit fresh closing in response.
Locally, in economic news on Thursday, the Reserve Bank of Australia is due to release its quarterly bulletin.
In equities news, the NAB, Elders, DuluxGroup and Incitec Pivot all have annual general meetings.
