After months of diminishing volatility that left the dollar almost immune to Federal Reserve talk and data surprises, the world’s deepest and most liquid market is back to scrutinizing both -- and just in time for one of the busiest weeks of the year.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan and New York Fed President John Williams will speak on Monday before Chair Jerome Powell testifies to Congress on Tuesday. Friday will feature a reading on the central bank’s favored inflation gauge, while in between, other regional Fed chiefs discuss the economy and monetary policy.
