The market is getting nervous as the FOMC minutes approach


The FED FOMC minutes from the March meeting are due to be released at 18:00 GMT. The market is getting itchy. During the morning the US Dollar enjoyed some good demand but it looks like traders are positioning themselves before the minutes get released. The British Pound lost one and a half cent during the morning but have paired losses in just a few hours. Judging from hawkish comments of some FED members, personally I expect the FOMC minutes to be less dovish than Yellen´s press conference.  

 

The GBP/USD chart shows that volatility has increased
