I am guessing the US gov did not like the currency intervention that occurred earlier this morning. It is a warning to the rest of world.

I do, everyday, and what I see is a fed chairman hinting this move a few days back while saying montary policy wont change. I also see a NY Fed president saying 'extended' means at least 6 months, this means no hike for quite a while and probably more

It doesn't matter. Markets anticipate the ENTIRE picture AT ONCE.

The discount rate is set by the Board of Governors of the fed(not the fomc), bernanke hinted this a while ago, it was expected that the hike would come out of nowhere(as opposed to a fomc meeting), the market is wrong here, this doesnt mean much

In fact I'd say when the fed announced they would not roll over the alphabet soup of liquidity programs that was a more hawkish move, because those programs were using 'unusual and exigent' authority forcing the fed to stay congruent and not tighten credit
