De Aanwinsten van de Dollar van de V.S. voor het Zware Risico van de Gebeurtenis

Geschreven door Terri Belkas en David Song, DailyFX.com

The rise in risk aversion spurred increased demands for long-term US Treasuries, while demands for short-terms bonds wavered as the economic outlook for the US remains dreary. As a result, the benchmark 10-Year yield dropped to 3.823 percent from 3.831, while the 2-Year yield rose to 2.362 percent from 2.350.

Looking ahead, we expect heightened US Dollar volatility to follow early on in the morning as 1^st quarter GDP figures are scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, and expect annualized growth to inch lower to 0.4 percent from 0.6 percent. Following the release, our attention will be turned to the FOMC rate decision at 18:15 GMT, and forecast the central bank to lower key rates by 25bp to 2.00 percent.
