Contractionary Monetary Policy: What is it and How Does it Work?

HAT IS CONTRACTIONARY MONETARY POLICY? Contractionary monetary policy is the process whereby a central bank deploys various tools to lower inflation and the general level of economic activity. Central banks do so through a combination of interest rate hikes, raising the reserve requirements for commercial banks and by reducing the supply of money through large-scale government bond sales, also known as, quantitative tightening (QT).

US Dollar Delicately Climbs as Fed Re-Affirms Rate Hikes Post Data. Where to for DXY?

The US Dollar remains fragile after US PPI eased in July. In a remarkedly similar response to soft CPI data the day before, markets extrapolated a less hawkish Federal Reserve going forward. This notion was once again shot down, this time by San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly in an interview with Bloomberg television after the New York close.

CRUDE OIL, US DOLLAR, US CPI, WTI, BRENT, CHINA, HANG SENG, FED - TALKING POINTS

Crude oil is steady through the Asian session ahead of the all-important US CPI later today.

Swiss Franc Firming Against US Dollar and Euro. Will Momentum Take CHF Higher?

EUR/CHF made a 7.5-year low at the end of last month at 0.9699, moving below the previous low of 0.9804.
