Fed chat supporting greenback - UOB

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at UOB Group noted that the fairly hawkish comments by Fed speakers have rekindled hopes that the long awaited rate hike could still come in Q4.

Key quotes:

"St Louis Fed’s Bullard (non-voter) mentioned that October rate rise is still a possibility while Atlanta Fed’s Lockhart (voter) acknowledged that although he voted to keep rates unchanged last week, he thinks it is still likely to commence tightening by year-end."
