The U.S. dollar experienced a decline as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes. Analysts, including Joseph Dahrieh from Tickmill Group, highlighted the market's anticipation for clearer indications regarding the Federal Reserve's policy direction in 2026. The end-of-year period, characterized by reduced liquidity, could lead to increased price volatility. Should the minutes suggest potential rate cuts in 2026, the dollar and Treasury yields might face downward pressure. Conversely, a more cautious tone from the Fed could provide short-term support for the dollar.
