Federal Reserve Decision Strategy for the Dollar and Global Markets
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
DOW, DOLLAR, USDJPY, NZDCAD AND FOMC TALKING POINTS:
The Trade Perspective: Bearish Dow below 34,000/33,000 after Fed; Bearish Gold against 1,850; Bearish USDJPY below 113.50 after Fed, Bullish NZDCAD above 0.8750
Volatility remains uncomfortably high as we move into FOMC Wednesday – with the central bank flirting with a faster timeline for rate hikes.
The Dow and US indices seem particularly prone to fundamentally-driven volatility while the Dollar is also tuned in – meanwhile, we still have the BOC, earnings and Ukraine.
