Deutsche Bank: Fed meeting notes not expected to affect dollar trend

Antje Praefcke, an analyst at Commerzbank, said in a note that the minutes of the Fed's last meeting are unlikely to have much impact on the dollar. She said the meeting notes released soon could highlight differences of opinion among policymakers, but this is not new. "Ultimately, it is the future that will be decisive for the foreign exchange market." Developments in inflation and the job market will be decisive for future Fed decisions, but with the US government shutdown and official data delayed, it makes no sense to react to past statements by Fed members until new information emerges.
