FX Daily：FOMC会议前美元买盘回归
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
ING expects a broadly supported dollar into Wednesday's FOMC, helped by stabilising AI sentiment, hawkish Fed messaging from Chair Warsh and pre-meeting positioning. US consumer confidence is forecast at 81.5 versus 81.0 consensus. EUR/USD keeps 1.0-1.5% short-term undervaluation from France, with 1.110 the key support. ING expects a hawkish 25bp RBNZ hike to 3.0% and a 0.570 NZD/USD fourth-quarter forecast. CEE currencies carry more downside than upside risk.

Key arguments
- A stabilising AI mood and pre-FOMC positioning underpin a firmer dollar this week; ING expects broad dollar support.
- EUR/USD keeps a 1.0-1.5% short-term undervaluation tied to France, but spreads must widen well beyond 153bp to trigger another large euro drop.
- ING expects a hawkish 25bp RBNZ hike to 3.0%, with a statement validating market pricing without committing to the 100bp priced over 12 months.
- CEE rates are more likely to track higher energy prices upward than fall on recession fears; regional currencies face greater downside than upside.
Key numbers
- US consumer confidence forecast (September prior 81.9, consensus 81.0)
- 81.5
- Expected RBNZ hike to
- 3.0% (+25bp)
- EUR/USD short-term undervaluation
- 1.0-1.5%
- French spread level; trigger for larger EUR drop
- 153bp
- NZD/USD 4Q forecast; EUR/USD key support
- 0.570; 1.110
Main risks
- A weak US consumer confidence print could unsettle fragile tightening pricing and soften the Fed tone.
- A strong Israeli opposition showing could lower oil prices and weaken the dollar, but markets need far more peace evidence to price out geopolitical risk.
- The RBNZ may not deliver the December hike ING expects, and its hawkish tone may not be matched by action.
Corresponding source evidence
Pre-FOMC positioning may also be kicking in, with the forward- looking FX market viewing Chair Kevin Warsh's reiteration of inflation commitments as reinforcing the structural floor for the dollar.
As discussed in our preview, we sympathise with this view and expect a broadly supported dollar this week.
· this weekSurprises here aren’t likely to be enough to sway tomorrow’s Fed tone, but pricing for further tightening has shown some fragility of late, and evidence of deteriorating consumer mood could enter the equation.
