Fed: Depending on the economy, a third rate hike could be delivered in December - BBH
DXY lost its footing at the start of the session as traders prepared for Yellen;s testimony. Fed's chairwoman Yellen. The Fed's June meeting of the Fed’s Open Market Committee did not deliver very much clarity to markets, so traders were keenly awaiting this event today.
However, there is still a lack of clarity although it seems quite clear that there is still some concern in regards to inflationary pressures and the Fed seems to be held for now until they are satisfied that their inflation target can be met. The dollar is better offered as a result.
