Discount rate hike may influence short term Tsy yield and if the spread is constant rise 10 y yield, too.
But that should add to USDx. I don't think CDS would rise. Interesting however is the spread of Tsy to corporate bonds. If corporate continue to "sell better" than Tsy AND the recovery hope does not come true then it could mean USDx to drop. I have a lot of US based friends. If their view is correct then
the recovery doesn't have legs it is still between lame and limping.

Does not a discount rate hike will also cause a rise in the price of US credit default swaps and a rise in the yields for debts, especially treasury bonds ? and could therefore be harmful for the USD ?

Confidence in the sustainibilty of job growth (with 50k census jobs) is not proven

considering the facts
loss of over 8 million jobs over the two last years
an joblessrate U6 at 17.5%

spec, if neither a US rate hike nor the 1st net increase in US jobs since Dec 2007 isn't enough to prolong the rally in the dollar then i dont know what will. Meanwhile, EU still playing fotsie w/ greece.

Thats what i said at my last interview on CNBC.

ashraf, how do you expect dollar to move after the emergency meeting on monday if they hike the discount rate by 25bp? Because there was little overall benefit to the dollar on friday even though it was bank holiday.

I wish I could attach my own charts. I was not surprised to see a USD sell off at 82.00 as it would have been a nice round resistance number. I was prepared to see USD sell off to 80.65 if necessary, but previous resistance of 80.85 now looks to be support. I think 82.00 will be retested and broken and that USD could see 86.00-87.00 eventually. That does not mean it will not sell-off in between that time but as long as the uptrend line remains in tact, I see this occurring.

If the fed raises the discount rate on monday we should see the dollar strengthen ? Do you think we may be putting in a dollar bottom on this correction?

The USD bounced off previous resistance @ 80.85 now looks to retest 82.00 and perhaps challenge 83.00. The uptrend line is still clearly intact (from Dec 2009) but we shall see.
