What happened: Fed interest rates
Odds of a 25 basis points hike now stand at nearly 87%, with the likelihood of a 50 basis point increase at roughly 13%. Energy inflation is still in focus, with oil set for its second weekly decline as the prospects of renewed strikes by the American against Iran recede.
Why Fed interest rates matters for traders
Federal Reserve policy is the single biggest driver of the US dollar, Treasury yields and global risk appetite. Any shift in the expected path of interest rates is priced into currencies, gold and stock indices within minutes.
Hawkish signals typically lift the greenback and pressure non-yielding assets such as gold, whereas dovish signals often help equities and emerging-market currencies.
