“We're nearing the end of the earnings period, we've already heard from the Fed, and there aren't a lot of big surprises out there for the rest of the month.”
John Davidson
“Friday's solid US payrolls headlines and strength in average earnings growth have boosted Fed tightening expectations further.”
Daniel Katzive
“With the Fed fund futures having nearly fully priced in two more rate hikes this year in November and December, there is little reason for the dollar to extend its gains on interest rate expectations alone.”
Jeremy Friesen
“For markets that have recently priced in 'nearly immediate' Fed tightening, [Friday's] data suggest more breathing room, even as tightening is likely to take place when recovery is more deeply entrenched.”
Steven Wieting
“The Fed is nearing the end of its tightening cycle and on a weekly basis the release of the minutes may impact the dollar negatively.”
Samarjit Shankar
“I'm still looking for places to sell the dollar. We're assuming that the Fed is nearing the end of its tightening cycle. That's a reason to sell dollars.”
Firas Askari
“The earnings themselves are not enough to lift the markets higher. We need a benign Fed to lift the markets.”
