The FOMC will be announcing their monetary policy decision tomorrow at 0200 (GMT+8). It is expected that the central bank will be holding monetary policy unchanged. However, the central bank may be dropping a hint on quantitative easing tapering. Also, the Fed will be releasing its quarterly economic projections material. Pay attention to the dot plot included in the material to see if there’s any change in interest rate forecast.
The central bank will also be holding a press conference at 0230 (GMT+8). During this time, expect volatility in USD.
