Key Quotes

“The US is modestly more interesting, with the minutes from the last FOMC minutes. That should explain the changes in the dot points, but mostly is expected to reiterate the line that the Fed expect to raise interest rates this year, but they are very data dependent. We get more from the Fed, with the Fed’s Williams speaking on the outlook for the economy. He is a voter and known moderate hawk.”
