Hi Ashraf, as for today's US data coming up, esp existing housing data what is your view on its reaction on USDX. It seems last weeks housing data provided risk appetite instead of the further worries of rate hikes?

Mandie, honestly, it was not until 4 hours before the FOMC decision that i started thinking the discount rate will need to be adjusted (as per my arguments before). then i said they will have to do it anyway this month (March). as for the rumours that came out yesterday they were result of traders chat. bottom line, i see 90% chance discount rate will be raised this month (probably next week).

Partisan, USD will rally during the next episode of risk aversion especially as Fed withdraws liquidity --ends MBS purchases this month. CAD wont rally on falling markets but it will fall more modestly than EUR or GBP. we can still see 1.05 next quarter.

Ashraf -

Do you see USD strong long term (ie. next 12 months)? If there is a currencies/markets crisis in the meantime which includes the USD losing market support, and - given problems with the other major currencies EURO, GBP, JPY - what other currency could attract safe haven support? Could the CAD emerge as a refuge currency? Or will it remain a commodities currency vulnerable to market falls etc?

Any time you could spare for your thoughts would be much appreciated.
