USD: Could Trump’s move change rate hike plans?

By Smart Currency February 6th, 2017

Non-farm payrolls showed a significant improvement but wage growth had weakened, according to figures out last week. Will this have an impact on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike plans for this year and weaken the dollar?

Trump’s policies and announcements remained the focus last week and are set to be what the markets are most interested in this week once again. Last week Trump sacked his Attorney General Sally Yates following her questioning Trump’s controversial immigration policy.

This week is data-light again in the US, with only unemployment claims of significance.
