LONDON, Sept 18 — The US dollar hovered near a six-month high today as traders looked ahead to interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan this week.
The index rose for its ninth straight week last week as the US economy continued to show strength. It touched 104.53 on Thursday, its highest since the middle of March. Investors expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates on hold in the 5.25 per cent to 5.5 per cent range on Wednesday. They broadly expect the Bank of Japan to leave rates on hold at -0.1 per cent on Friday, but will watch closely for hints about the policy outlook after Governor Kazuo Ueda stoked speculation of an imminent move away from ultra-loose policy.
“In terms of the direction of travel, dollar/yen can definitely track higher... particularly if Governor Ueda sounds dovish and dashes hopes of policy tightening at the upcoming meeting,” she said.
