外汇日报:偏鹰派的美联储会议纪要支撑美元
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
September FOMC minutes showed most participants expected another rate increase by year-end, keeping the dollar supported. ING sees DXY grinding toward 102.85 while markets already price a December hike to 4.25% plus 50bp next year. French debt unrest keeps EUR/USD fragile, with a dip to 1.1100/1120 favoured, and centrist BoE speakers could pressure EUR/GBP toward 0.8455/65 support.

Key arguments
- Most FOMC participants saw another hike as likely appropriate by year-end, backed by frustratingly high inflation and an inflationary read on the AI investment boom.
- A hawkish Fed is already priced, so ING doubts the market will fight that pricing this year even if the expected 50bp of 2027 tightening looks too aggressive.
- French sovereign debt pressure, tied to issuance-duration talk and unresolved fiscal consolidation, keeps dragging EUR/USD lower.
- Centrist BoE speakers Bailey and Lombardelli could cross to a hike vote, supporting sterling and pushing EUR/GBP toward 0.8455/65.
Key numbers
- DXY target
- 102.85
- Expected December Fed hike
- 25bp to 4.25%
- Market-priced further tightening next year
- 50bp
- EUR/USD favoured dip
- 1.1100/1120
- EUR/GBP strong support
- 0.8455/65
Main risks
- ING's view that 50bp of 2027 tightening is too aggressive may not be shared by the market, which could keep dollar pricing hawkish.
- French fiscal debate starting 13 October could prolong OAT instability and drive EUR/USD below 1.1100.
- BoE centrists failing to turn hawkish would leave EUR/GBP testing 0.8455/65 with outside risk to 0.8400.

Expect more focus on political events in Paris today and also on Bank of England speakers, where centrists could turn more hawkish Hawkish FOMC minutes provide underlying support for the dollar USD: Clean, hawkish read from the FOMC minutes September FOMC minutes published last night reflect a hawkish Fed.
One sentence which caught our eye was: "Most participants assessed that another increase in the target range for the federal funds rate would likely be appropriate by year-end." This followed a discussion of frustratingly high inflation and the Fed being surprised about the pace and magnitude of the AI build-out.
After an expected 25bp hike to 4.25% in December, the market still looks for another 50bp of tightening next year.
