The US Dollar strengthened later in the day amid a deterioration in market sentiment and higher US yields ahead of the Federal Reserve decision.showed a revision in the annual rate from 5.3% in August to 5.2%, while the Core rate remained at 5.3%.
The economic numbers will likely be overshadowed by the FOMC decision. The Fed is expected to keep the Fed Fund rate steady at 5.25-5.50%. The statement and Chair Powell will likely reiterate that more tightening may be needed if inflation rebounds further or proves to be more resilient. The economy, so far, has shown resilience in the face of monetary tightening.
The outcome of the FOMC meeting will likely have a significant impact on the market and could be a determining factor for the direction of the US Dollar.
