Focus On FOMC

cosma Posted 30 Ott  in #Fx #Fomc #Fed
FX markets were steady ahead of key event risk in the North American session today with most majors slightly up against the dollar as traders prepared for the FOMC decision at 16:00 GMT.
In Asia, the Australia CPI data came inline at 0.5% vs. 0.5% eyed having very little impact on Aussie as the inflation news essentially confirmed a steady as she goes monetary policy by the RBA which is seen to be on pause for now at least until December. The Aussie held firm rising to .6875 in European dealing.…

UDDollar >> Not Impressed by Fed Minutes

cosma Posted 18 Ago  in #USD #Forex #Fomc #Fed
Dear Community;U.S. dollar traders were not impressed by the July Federal Reserve meeting minutes. The greenback ended the day slightly lower than were it was before the minutes were released and unchanged for the day against all four of the major currencies - the euro, British pound, Japanese Yen and Canadian dollar. The FOMC minutes showed policymakers split on how soon a rate hike was needed. Some members backed a July hike but others wanted to see more data on the economy and inflation. They…

Janet Yellen Admits Negative Rates Are Not Off The Table

cosma Posted 16 Feb  in #Fed #Yallen
Morning Users;
markets are now excluding a Fed rate hike for March as inflation is clearly not picking up despite low unemployment rates. 2015 CPI is stalling at 0.7% y/y, far away from the Fed's target of 2%. A rate hike in April seems also very unlikely with a likelihood of 2%. The dollar has sharply weakened as a result of those expectations. Fed's Chairwoman Janet Yellen has spoken last week in front of the congress to deliver the Fed's semi-annual Monetary Policy Report.

Focus On Fomc meeting.

cosma Posted 27 Gen  in #Fed #Fomc Forex #Meeting USA
Morning Users;
currency markets (Fx) remained in a state of suspended animation awaiting the press release from today's FOMC meeting due at 1900GMT but in the meantime weaker guidance from Apple and a drop in crude weighed on risk sentiment lifting euro to session highs at 1.0880 while commodity dollars yo-yoed up and down in morning European dealing.
Aussie was the one exception to the rule as the unit remained bid all night long after slightly hotter than expected CPU figures pushed it towards…

Dollar weaker ahead of Fed meeting

cosma Posted 14 Dic  in #Dollar #Forex #Fed
Users,
the dollar weakened on Friday despite positive Retail Sales and Producer Price Index releases. While the Fed is still expected to raise interest rates on Wednesday, lift-off in policy normalisation may be largely priced in, and as such attention will primarily be on the Fed’s accompanying press conference and updated economic outlook.
