Fed news on September 16 indicates that the U.S. dollar may face difficulty rising unless the Fed signals a prolonged rate-hiking cycle, according to Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Lee Hardman. LSEG data shows markets anticipate a 25-basis-point hike this week and a total of 95 basis points by 2027. Hardman stated that the Fed must adopt a more hawkish stance than expected to boost the dollar. Traders are also monitoring altcoins amid shifting monetary policy.

According to Huoxing Finance, on September 16, Lee Hardman, an analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ, stated in a report that the U.S. dollar may struggle to strengthen unless the Federal Reserve solidifies market expectations for a prolonged interest rate hiking cycle in its upcoming decision. LSEG data shows that the market has nearly fully priced in a 25-basis-point hike this Wednesday and an anticipated cumulative increase of nearly 95 basis points by September 2027. Hardman noted that this pricing sets a high bar for the Fed to signal a more "hawkish" rate path than expected. He added that the Fed’s communication is unlikely to clearly convey how much further tightening will be needed.
