MUFG outlook for the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and the implications for the US dollar. in brief:
- “The strong employment report increases the risk of the Fed providing a more hawkish policy update”
- expects the Fed to signal a delay to rate-cut plans due to inflation staying elevated … “The power of the U.S. jobs data … reinforces the risk of the Fed remaining on the sidelines for longer”
And thus for the US$:
- “… increased the risk that the U.S. dollar will remain stronger for longer”
