Anticipation is Making Many Wait – USD Index Futures Rise Ahead of FOMC U.S. Dollar Index Futures are rising ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting which culminates in an interest rate decision on Thursday. The December contract for U.S. dollar index futures was up .05 percent at $95.46. Meanwhile, U.S. economic data was mixed on Tuesday, but ultimately positive for U.S. currency futures. U.S. Retail Sales rose 0.2 percent last month, after advancing 0.7 percent in July, according to the Commerce Department. Sales have increased 2.2 percent over the past 12 months, as solid hiring has translated into surges in spending at auto dealers and restaurants. This compares to the estimate of a gain of 0.3%. Analysts say retail sales are increasing due to steady U.S. job gains. Hiring has added 2.9 million additional jobs over the past 12 months. The New York Federal Reserve manufacturing index was negative 14.67, which compares to the estimate of negative 0.50. The measure was negative 14.92 in August. August Industrial Production fell 0.4 percent compared to expectations of a decline of 0.2 percent, while August Capacity Utilization came in 77.6 percent, just below the 77.8 percent expected. July Business Inventories rose 0.1 percent, the smallest rise since March but in line with economists' expectations, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. Inventories in June were downwardly revised to show a 0.7 percent gain after the previously reported 0.8 percent increase. Many commodity-futures watchers both domestically and worldwide are on hold, waiting for the FOMC meeting beginning Wednesday and ending Thursday with the decision on interest rates. 09/15/2015 10:01am
