Fed chair Yellen’s speech today at the Fed’s Jackson Hole Symposium presents two way risks for USD traders as well as the risk that the initial reaction is misleading if it merely hinges on the short-term implications for rate hikes. In any case the Fed will inevitably present a longer term policy stance roadmap that can’t help but have a long-term influence on the USD as well.
