USDOLLAR weaker ahead of Powell address
Fed Chair Powell is due to speak about the economy, inflation and employment at the Brookings Institution at 6:30 pm GMT. He will likely take the opportunity to reiterate the slowing of rate hikes to 50bps after four 75bps increases. However, he is also likely also to emphasise the fight against inflation. A tighter policy will continue until the Fed has managed to reign inflation in
