US Session Bullet Report

After the initial selloff of the USD following a dovish FED, which cited too many risks to the US economy stemming from global concerns (China), the greenback is regaining a lot of lost ground versus other currencies.

Hawkish comments from FED members after the announcement gave back the confidence to the market that a rate hike is still possible this year. For example, Fed’s Williams said that Thursday’s decision was a close call. Fed’s Bullard said that he was in favor for a rate hike on Thursday.

This illustrates that the FED is highly divided on a first rate hike. In Greece, the elections and its result do not look as if they will influence the direction of the EUR. Instead, focus turns to global growth threats (China) for indications that the volatility will subside – which eventually will be the trigger the FED is looking for to start raising rates. In other words, economic releases from China, might slowly become more important to the USD, rather than US economic releases.

All in all, the USD is trading at 1.1250 Vs the EUR, 120.50 Vs the JPY and $1130 for an ounce of gold.
14:00 GMT housing data from the US are next.
