Morning Report: 07.00 London

The US dollar remains on top ahead of today’s FOMC meeting where the Fed are expected to increase rates to 2.00%. The dollar has been accumulating steadily in the lead up to today, but the key, as ever will be the Fed’s forward projections beyond today.

The dollar pairs remain on the back foot, with most pairs dipping steadily over the last week. Meanwhile, the USD/CAD and USD/CHF continue to climb.

The euro is slightly out-performing the pound so far this morning, with the EUR/GBP rising after dipping yesterday.

The USD/JPY continues to gain, with the May highs now in sight of a day’s session. Other dollar pairs are on the rise, but from a low base.
