- The US Dollar Index jumped to a new two-year high after Russian President Vladimir Putin shook the markets ahead of a possible rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. When ordering Russia’s first mobilization since World War II, Putin claimed that the West’s aim was to weaken, divide and destroy Russia. He warned that Moscow would respond with all its might against possible threats. The news pushed the dollar index, which measures the value of the US dollar against other major currencies, to 110,869, its highest level since 2002.
- While Putin’s statements raised concerns about the economic outlook of the region, which has already been hit hard by Russia’s gas supply restriction, European currencies have been the mainstay of sales in foreign exchange markets. The euro fell to a two-week low of $0.9884. Worries of an escalation in the conflict hurt European currencies and losses could deepen in the euro if the Fed is a hawk tonight. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates by 75 basis points for the third consecutive year, signaling how far and how far this will go.
- On the other hand, a possible update on the dot plot, where the interest rate expectations of the FED members are announced, will also be important. Revisions in the policy rate, which was foreseen as 3.4% from 2022 and 3.7% at the end of 2023 at the June meeting, will be important in determining the hawk/dove tone of the FED. In addition, the unemployment rate and economic growth expectations of the FED are other details to be followed.
- The Fed will announce its interest rate decision at 21:00 CEST. After the interest rate decision, President Powell will be in front of the cameras. The comments here will be important
