Next week, the pair will be subject to FOMC and Lee Hardman, FX Strategist at The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, notes the main downside risks for the US dollar from next week’s meeting would be if the Fed decided not to begin tapering QE, “…the main downside risks for the US dollar from next week’s meeting would be if the Fed decided not to begin tapering QE, and/or if the Fed also strengthened its commitment to maintain low rates perhaps by either lowering the 6.5% unemployment rate threshold or combining it with an explicit inflation threshold of say 2.0% which could act to push back rate hike expectations”.
