Dollar holds seven-week high after Fed hike as BOE, BOJ decisions loom

  • Federal Reserve raised interest rates and signaled another increase in 2026.
  • 90% probability of another quarter-point Fed hike is priced by year-end.
  • Bank of England and Bank of Japan decisions follow the Federal Reserve move.

The dollar remained near a seven-week high after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and signaled further increases, prompting traders to assess how the Bank of England and Bank of Japan will respond to inflation pressures. The greenback and U.S. Treasury yields rose after new central bank chief Kevin Warsh supported the unanimous decision and officials projected one more increase in 2026. Rate futures now imply about a 90% probability of another quarter-percentage-point Fed increase by year-end. The dollar index stood at 100.3, while the euro fell to $1.1463 and the yen hovered near a two-week low at 155.98 per dollar. Sterling was little changed ahead of the Bank of England meeting. Japan's central bank is expected to raise rates to a 31-year high and provide guidance on future tightening, a potential test for the yen after its recent rally. The Australian dollar gained after the IMF said Australia may need further rate increases, while the New Zealand dollar also strengthened.
