  • Yellen: From Adding Accommodation to Scaling It Back

    From federalreserve.gov

    I am pleased to join you today to discuss the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. I strongly believe that my colleagues and I should explain, as clearly as we can, both the reasons for our decisions and the fundamental principles that underlie our strategy. Today I will review the conduct of monetary policy during the nearly 10 years since the onset of the financial crisis. Although the Federal Reserve's policy strategy for systematically pursuing its congressionally mandated goals of maximum employment and price stability has not changed during this period, the Federal Open Market Committee ...

  • Yellen Says March Hike 'Likely Appropriate' If Progress Persists

    From bloomberg.com

    Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said an interest-rate increase would “likely be appropriate” at the central bank’s upcoming meeting if employment and inflation continue to meet policy makers’ expectations. “At our meeting later this month, the Committee will evaluate whether employment and inflation are continuing to evolve in line with our expectations, in which case a further adjustment of the federal funds rate would likely be appropriate,” Yellen said in prepared remarks to be delivered Friday at the Executives’ Club of Chicago. The Fed will announce whether it’s raising rates on March 15 ... (full story)

sorry my friends, but that's only an adaptation with suddenly high from the resistance. when it is normal, you can see the foot step is more powerful than before.
conclusion: hawkish for USD. Go long my friends.
The market is already priced in so, I don't expect much upward movement from usd

Rate hike in March is priced in more than 80%, market is sure about it so they start to price in other events. Smart money is always one step ahead of the herd.

Many users speak about irrelevant news, Yellen speech etc., while smart traders are preparing for the events which will be in the spotlight in few days or weeks. But at that time there will not be any risk premium, so most of the retail traders will have to flip the coin and try their luck to earn money.

Dudes, aint about market pricing the Fed's march rate hike. Simply, it is all about the Swiss national bank buying the Euro. Just look at how the Eurchf spiked up the same way with the Eurusd, the pair didnt close that high from over a month at 1.07
There was always no reason for the Eurusd to stay on these levels, the normal price is parity and below.
What nobody can and will understand is Swiss national bank letting the eurchf peg go away and after the pair crashed soooo hard it is now buying it at 1.0650 instead of 1.20!! Anyways nobody can save the Euro, it is headibg down so sharp like a knife. The Eurozone is clearly a failure cooperation. Just a matter of ime and patiemnce for USD Bulls
i placed a heavy sell order at the last minute before market closed... on eurusd...no tp no sl
Love Cars & Money !
medium term buy eurusd looking to 125

And yes I also opened can't miss a chance of drop down....
Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.
Before Alan Greenspan & Jean Claude Trichet always surprise the market .....The question Yellen will do the same on March 15 !!!!???.....The NFP next Friday will be a key and send a strong message for market but we must to keep in mind last June 2016 market priced also around 80 % hike rate but NFP data was very bad forecast predictions were 156 results were 38 It was a reason for FED to push hike rate to DEC .....If Fed need a new reason to push hike rate for May or June NFP is a joker we must keep eyes open on data results next week .GOOD LUCK for all ....
It's not clear to hike in march or not but anyway it's announcement reinforce USD at least for a short time.
