FOMC – Meeting Minutes Explained
My colleague Shain covered the FOMC meeting minutes in details. Do check the update on FOMC meeting minutes here. The Fed’s meeting minutes from the September meeting came out insignificantly more dovish than anticipated. Nonetheless, the FOMC persists on the path to hike rates in December.
You must be thinking if Fed (Federal Reserve) talked about another rate hike this year in 2017, then why USD slipped? Well, it's linked with the sentiment analysis side. Since we all are expecting a third rate hike in December and this is already "priced in." Having said this, what's so exciting about the yesterday's FOMC meeting minutes? Nothing … Fed came up with the same old story. As a result, the already priced in USD dropped to support the Gold.
