Ruilian Bank analyst Peter Kinsella expects the dollar to remain firm after tonight’s Fed rate decision and incoming US data. He anticipates the Fed will hold rates but warns of increasing dissent on the committee, with Hamak and Logan inclined toward hikes. Kinsella projects US Q2 GDP at 2.1% and June PCE at -0.1% MoM; he judges neither set of prints likely to prompt major market moves and sees no near-term drivers to weaken the dollar.
