Key Quotes
“Yellen’s speech this time took on a hawkish interpretation. She also said that the factors weighing on inflation are likely to be transitory. All up it appeared that the bar to hike in Dec may not be high after all. In Asia the USD has been better bid vs the entire G10 space following Yellen’s speech, +0.3%, after closing flat at the end of the US session.”
