The Dollar's rally over the past seven months and Euro tumble through the past eight are more heavily based in monetary policy than traditional 'risk' fluctuations. Expectations ranging from first rate hikes to expansion in stimulus programs have fed volatility in the currency market even when the traditional ebb and flow of speculative appetite for carry or haven has tempered. While fears of a cross-market deleverage are slowly growing (which monetary policy may play a role in), volatility and trend are developing more consistently through this important theme. So, in today's Trading Video, we run cover where policy expectations stand for all the majors and key milestones ahead.
