In this week as a Forex trader you should be looking at only the major pairs and that too Euro and the Yen and get mastery over your currency pairs. The big question is will the Fed increase the interest rates and will this be the last one for the year? All comes down to the statement at 19:00 GMT on Wednesday the 13th of June 2017.

PLATINUM ANALYSTS ARE EXPECTING A 95% CHANCE OF A HIKE IN THE INTEREST RATES OF 0.25%

The Markets have already priced in this rate hike in all fairness, but we must look at the statement and figure out whether there shall be a mention of any further rate hikes and if so when and look at the path for the rest of the year.

The ECB is expected to leave rates unchanged after its meeting on this week on Thursday but markets we may get a policy update regarding Quantitative Easing.

PLATINUM CONSUMER ALERT

If you are new to reading our blog content from time to time we tend so send out consumer alerts and, in this case, even if you are not trading what should you be aware of and what are the top financial tips for the month of June 2018.

Switch to a fixed rate mortgage from a variable or adjustable rate mortgage.
If you still have not considered this, it should be a top priority of yours so that you will not get impacted by further interest rate hikes. Lets take an example of if you lock in a 30 year fixed deal your interest rate will not jump from 4.50 to 4.75 or 5 Percent.

Pay off credit card debt
Anyone with debt will see an increase on their monthly bill within the next cycle or two. The best way to combat this, as well as the effect of future rate hikes, is to pay off as much outstanding debt as possible now.

TRADE THE FOMC LIVE WITH A PLATINUM TRADER

WILL THE 12TH OF JUNE BE THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT FOR THE DOLLAR?

The Fed is back and will meet again this week with the Round table conference with the fed chairman Jerome Powell. Are there any major surprises not really it is an anticipated rate hike and Platinum Traders believe there could be another short-term rate hike.

The May meeting of the FOMC left interest rates unchanged, after having increased them previously in March.

Statement from the previous statement:

“In view of realized and expected labour market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 percent,” the Fed said in a statement after the meeting. “The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting strong labour market conditions and a sustained return to 2 percent inflation.”

The Central Bank had stated that it was targeting an inflation rate of 2 percent at the beginning of the year, and after the meeting, it said: “On a 12-month basis, both overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy have moved close to 2 percent.”

The FOMC forecast report covers GDP, the PCE price index, the unemployment rate, and forecasts of the next change in the Fed funds rate and the expected rate at the end of the next two years. The FOMC forecasts are compiled based on individual outlooks from each Fed governor and District president.
