Despite Putin and US data, attention is set on the FOMC that in a few minutes, at 18:00 GMT will announce its decision on monetary policy. The Fed will also release new macroeconomic projections from the FOMC staff and Chairman Powell will held a press conference.

The decision, the tone, the dot plot and Powell’s words are expected to have a significant impact on financial markets including the US dollar. The DXY arrives to the meeting trading at the strongest level since June 2002, above around 111.00.
