In the aftermath of the 2008 market crash and Great Recession the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates at rock bottom lows for nearly a decade. Then, when they nudged rates up a quarter percent in December it was with the caution that rates would only go higher when warranted. But now, according to an article in Bloomberg Business, there is a so-called Fed chorus for a higher rate move, and soon. The dollar rallied the most in nearly a month Wednesday as Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard joined a growing chorus of policy makers emphasizing that the central bank may raise interest rates as soon as April. The U.S. currency gained for a fourth day versus the euro in New York as Bullard said officials should consider raising interest rates at their next meeting amid a broadly unchanged outlook for the U.S. economy. San Francisco Fed President John Williams and Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart made similar comments about the April gathering earlier this week. The Fed is charged with controlling inflation among its other chores. The low price of crude oil and petroleum products has helped keep prices low. But the Fed knows that once inflation gets going that it can take two years or more to control it. So the better choice is to say ahead of the curve with higher interest rates. The recent years are an exception as the Fed is typically willing to routinely raise interest rates when needed. Are routine interest rate increases coming back? Would that mean a increasingly stronger dollar? The Effects of a Stronger U.S. Dollar The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. dollar strength is sending shares in Asia downward and having the same effect on commodities.

The Effects of a Stronger
U.S. Dollar

17. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The Wall Street Journal reports
that U.S. dollar strength is sending
shares in Asia downward and having
the same effect on commodities.

18. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
Asian shares slipped Thursday after
the U.S. dollar strengthened against
regional currencies.

19. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
In China, the Shanghai Composite
Index closed down 1.6%. Japan’s
Nikkei Stock Average was ended
0.6% lower, South Korea’s Kospi
closed down 0.5% and Australia’s
S&P/ASX 200 finished down 1.1%.

20. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index
ended down 1.3%.

21. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The appreciating U.S. dollar weighed
on Asian-Pacific stocks and
currencies.

22. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The dollar gained overnight against a
basket of major currencies after St.
Louis Federal Reserve Bank
President James Bullard suggested
there was a chance interest rates
could be raised in April.

23. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The hawkish tone buoyed the U.S.
dollar, which was stronger against
Asian currencies during the region’s
trading hours.

24. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
Declines in oil and commodities
prices sent energy and materials
shares lower across Asia.

25. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
To the extent that interest rate
increases become routine we can
expect to see this scene repeated
over and over.

Trading Currencies

27. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
Where can we expect to see the
most volatility and therefore potential
profit from a stronger dollar?

28. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
Emerging market currencies have
rallied this year on a weaker dollar
and especially after the Fed did not
raise interest rates in March.

29. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
However, MoneyWeb writes that the
Rand along with other emerging
market currencies is softening.

30. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
South Africa’s rand retreated against
the dollar in early Thursday trade,
mainly reflecting the greenback’s
gains spurred by expectations of
higher US interest rates this year.

31. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The rand was at 15.4240 to the
dollar, down 0.4% from its New York
close on Wednesday.

32. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The rand took its cue from emerging
Asian currencies, which slid as
Federal Reserve officials fanned
expectations of more US interest
rate hikes later this year and China
weakened the yuan.

33. http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com/are-routine-interest-rate-increases-coming-back/
The greatest variation in currency
rates will probably occur in this
sector.

As always do your own homework
before trading.
