As President Trump’s policy speech on Tuesday night looms ahead of us, the U.S. Dollar has slipped alongside U.S. stocks, which had been trading at an all-time high. Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress will be scrutinized for spending plans, and no doubt the Forex market will react with much-needed volatility.
Hawkish Fed
Expectations of a Fed rate hike increase at the March meeting jumped above 50% as Bank of Dallas President Robert Kaplan stated that policy makers should raise rates “sooner rather than later”. Other Fed officials making speeches this week include Fed Chair Janet Yellen who will be speaking at an event in Chicago on Friday.
