FRESH ANALYTICS – US news

FRESH ANALYTICS - Tips from FBS expert

This week will be highlighted by two US events.

The first one is the FOMC rate statement. Although the market anticipates a rate hike, the confidence is not as high as usual.

Moreover, the tone of the central bank will affect the USD a lot.

Another important event is an agreement between Mr. Trump and the government.

Over the past few weeks, the US president has been threatening to shut down the government in order to gain funding for his infamous US-Mexico border wall.

President Trump will have to reach an agreement with lawmakers by Friday, Dec. 21 to keep the government open.

If the agreement fails, risky assets will plunge and the USD will be under pressure as well.
