Dollar Rallies After Fed Rate Hike; Euro Falls to 1.1463

The dollar strengthened broadly against major currencies after the Federal Reserve announced a rate hike on Wednesday, September 16, New York time. The euro fell 0.63% to a session low of 1.1463, sterling dropped 0.70% to 1.3372, and the dollar rose 0.73% against the Swiss franc to 0.8257. Commodity currencies also weakened, with the Australian dollar down 0.64% and the New Zealand dollar down 0.8%.

The breadth of the move matters more than the size: the dollar gained against European majors and commodity currencies alike, suggesting a uniform repricing of rate differentials rather than a single-pair story. Commodity-currency weakness is the tell worth noting, since those economies are typically more sensitive to global risk appetite and terms of trade. Whether the dollar holds these gains once the initial reaction fades, or whether the move extends into a broader trend, is the open question.
