Daily Report: Dollar Extended Rally on Hawkish Fed Minutes

Dollar surged broadly as Fed delivered more hawkish than expected FOMC minutes overnight. The FOMC minutes for the July meeting unveiled that policymakers had detailed discussion of the exit strategy. The Fed has also planned to officially update their exit principles later this year. We expect to see the update in September. On the economic outlook, the member acknowledged the improvement in the job market. Yet, they remained divided over whether the unemployment rate served as an accurate indicator of the labor market conditions. The staff revised potential growth lower and inflation higher while expecting inflation to stay below the Fed's mandate for several years. The staff also lowered the unemployment rate forecast in response to the faster decline in the unemployment rate.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CAD - Buy at 1.0900

As the rebound from last week's low at 1.0860 gathered momentum, adding credence to our view that pullback from 1.0986 has ended there and consolidation with upside bias remains for retest of said resistance at 1.0986, once this resistance is penetrated, this would bring resumption of recent rise from 1.0621 low (tentatively wave c trough) for at least a correction of early decline towards 1.1000.

Trade Idea Wrap-up: EUR/USD - Sell at 1.3320

As the single currency has remained under pressure after yesterday's selloff below previous support at 1.3333, adding credence to our bearish view that recent decline has resumed and further weakness to 1.3265-70 (61.8% projection of 1.3651-1.3367 measuring from 1.3445) and then 1.3250 would be seen, below there would extend fall to 1.3220-25, however, near term oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 1.3200
