The financial and FX markets are showing exceptional levels of activity heading into the final trading weeks of the year. That sets us up for potentially dramatic volatility and perhaps even heavy trend development - unusual for December - with an important FOMC rate decision. This policy meeting is one of the quarterly events that comes equipped with updated economic and interest rate forecasts as well as Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's press conference.
