Fx daily consensus fed hike can still offer usd support

FX Daily：共识性美联储加息仍可为美元提供支撑
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Markets fully price a consensus 25bp Fed hike to 4.0%, with 52bp by year-end and 89bp by June. A surprise hold would hit the dollar hard via front-end repricing and a Treasury selloff, but the Fed is mindful of that risk, keeping a hold unlikely and arguing for a hawkish message. Warsh's openness to further hikes can support USD. EUR/USD may test 1.150, NZD/USD sees 0.570 as a bottom, and CEE FX rallies look unlikely on high energy prices.

Key arguments
- A consensus 25bp hike to 4.0% is expected; a surprise hold would significantly weaken the dollar via front-end rate repricing and a Treasury selloff.
- The Fed is likely aware of adverse Treasury-market implications, keeping hold probability low and favoring a hawkish message; dovish dissent is unlikely.
- Warsh's openness to further tightening can support the dollar by reinforcing policy credibility and countering debasement risk premium.
- Energy price strength and soft tech stocks argue against building sizeable USD shorts; markets may fade negative dollar reactions unless a significant dovish surprise occurs.

But that’s a small risk, as the FOMC is likely mindful of any adverse Treasury-market implications.
Openness to further hikes by Warsh can leave the dollar broadly supported A Federal Reserve hike of 25bp is widely expected today USD: Warsh can give dollar a bit more help We expect the Fed to raise rates by a consensus 25bp to 4.0% today.
A surprise hold would likely deliver a big blow to the dollar: both through the dovish repricing in front-end rates and a likely selloff in the back end.
