TALKING POINTS – US DOLLAR, POWELL, FED, AUSSIE DOLLAR, RBA, CAD, USMCA

A lackluster offering on the European economic calendar is likely to see currency markets looking ahead to a speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell for direction cues. He is due to opine on the US economic outlook at an event hosted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE). An upbeat tone echoing last week FOMC policy announcement may boost 2019 rate hike bets and send the US Dollar higher.
