USD range-bound near 100-DMA as volatility lurks – Scotiabank

The US Dollar (USD) is little changed on the session. A minor recovery in the Dollar Index (DXY) yesterday keeps the index in a tight range around the 100-day MA (98.58). Calm, low volatility trading risks getting a shake up over the coming days, however, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report.

Fed chair nomination and court rulings in focus

“The potential for President Trump to announce his nomination for the Fed chair before the end of next week. His choice seems highly likely to reflect the administration’s desire for significantly easier policy. Governor Miran said yesterday that more than 100bps of cuts are needed this year. And yesterday, the Supreme Court announced that it will be delivering opinions on pending cases Friday.”

“That could mean a decision on IEEPA tariffs—a signature Trump policy. The court sounded skeptical on the administration’s arguments in support of reciprocal and fentanyl-related tariffs under IEEPA. If struck down, the administration has other channels to reimpose them but it may take some time and the USD might soften in response to such a decision (lower trade uncertainty, lower price pressures, if only temporarily).”

“Most core major currencies are deviating by less than +/-0.1% against the USD on the session. The MXN is a marginal outperformer—up a little over 0.1%. Stocks are mixed while core bond markets are generally firmer, driving yields 4-6bps lower in Europe. Treasurys are lagging somewhat, however. Technically, we still rather think DXY gains are a fade in the upper 98 area (200- day MA at 98.88).”

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
