Dollar Taking A Hit, Can You Guess Why ?
From Thursday last week it's been a tough run for the currency...
With plenty of US related geopolitical news, traders are potentially showing their disquiet as other currencies go up versus the Dollar.
From Thursday last week it's been a tough run for the currency.
Generally speaking global news stories rarely affect currency rates unless they are specifically around a certain countries denomination.
Scheduled news stories and economic sentiment usually have more weight in exchange rate fluctuations.
With that in mind here's a view of what the rest of the week looks like....and it's a strong week.
Australian inflation is first out of the traps with annualised growth of 3.6% expected.
However it's after that that the bigger stories start, and it's all about interest rate decisions.
The Bank of Canada is expected to keep its base rate at 2.25% on Wednesday.
Later in the evening sees the US rate decision with the FED expected to keep their rate at 3.75%.
The FED press conference could be the big Dollar mover.
Economic calendar:
AUS: Wednesday 12:30am Inflation Report
CAN: Thursday 14:45pm BoC Interest Rate Decision
US: Thursday 19:00 FED Interest Rate Decision
US: Thursday 19:00 FOMC Press Conference
