[Mitsubishi UFJ: Fed's Decision May Fail to Boost the Dollar] BlockBeats News, September 16, Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Lee Hardman stated in a report that unless the Federal Reserve reinforces market expectations that the rate hike cycle will last longer in its upcoming decision, the dollar may struggle to strengthen. According to LSEG data, the market has almost fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike on Wednesday and a cumulative rate hike of nearly 95 basis points by September 2027. Hardman noted that this pricing sets a high bar for the Fed to deliver a more 'hawkish' rate hike signal than expected. He pointed out that the Fed's communication is unlikely to clearly convey how much further tightening may be needed in the future.
