  • Dollar Rises on Fed Hawkish Tone, Strong US Economic Data
    June 17, 2026, 5:58 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar index surged 0.49% on Wednesday, buoyed by robust May retail sales (+0.9% m/m) and pending home sales (+3.8% m/m) reports surpassing expectations. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, but its dot plot revealed a hawkish outlook, projecting at least one more 25 basis point rate hike this year and raising the fed funds rate forecast for end-2026 to 3.75%. The Fed also revised down its 2026 GDP growth and raised core inflation projections. Meanwhile, the euro weakened against the dollar amid falling German bund yields and mixed ECB signals, despite a slightly hawkish tone from ECB official Simkus. The eurozone's core CPI was revised up to 2.6% year-on-year. Investors priced a 34% chance of a Fed rate hike in July and a 16% chance of an ECB hike. Yen slipped slightly against the dollar.
