Global FX Strategy: Pokémonetary policy, Go!Nordea
This summer’s Brexit vote has added more fuel to the yield-grab fire. The Fed has recently started to warn about rate hikes, but such warnings are treated with little respect. Instead, market participants have started to ponder a hiked US inflation target. We think that is unlikely within a market-relevant horizon and instead expect a growth pick-up – and the Fed – to rehawk Fed expectations.
