Greenback at 20-years high, waiting green light from Fed.
“The market is over-confident that inflation has peaked.”
Greenback hovers near 20-years peak as investors brace themselves for yet another policy meeting from the Federal Reserve. According to data, futures show expectations for up to 200 basis point rate hike by September, supplementing extensive support for US Treasury to remain at its peak. Divergence in forward guidance among other central bank place Fed at the forefront due to “stickiness” of US inflation. Investors speculate that Fed may initiate a more aggressive approach soon to evade probable event of stagflation.
