Analyst: The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision boosts the recent outlook for the dollar

ChainCatcher news, Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Lee Hardman stated in a report that the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision has increased the likelihood of further appreciation of the dollar in the first half of 2025. It is expected that U.S. interest rates will remain at a high level for a longer period, creating a greater policy divergence with other major central banks. The expectation of widening policy divergence, coupled with the imminent risk of higher tariffs at the beginning of Trump's second term, will continue to put upward pressure on the dollar next year.
