Why traders are watching Fed interest rates
Expectations for US interest rates sit behind almost every move in the dollar, bond yields and equities. When the outlook for Fed policy changes, traders reprice the whole curve of rate expectations at once.
A more hawkish tone usually supports the dollar and weighs on gold and growth stocks, while a dovish tilt tends to do the opposite. That is why traders read every comment from policymakers closely.
