Deutsche Bank: сокращение баланса ФРС негативно для доллараDeutsche Bank считает, что если Федеральная резервная система сократит свой баланс вместо повышения процентных ставок для ужесточения денежно-кредитной политики, это станет «однозначно медвежьим» фактором для доллара США. В прошлом месяце американский центральный банк перешёл к жёсткой политике под руководством нового председателя Кевина Уорша. По меньшей мере половина из 18 участников Федерального комитета по открытым рынкам (FOMC) обозначила как минимум одно повышение ставки в текущем году в обновлённой точечной диаграмме, а Уорш в своих публичных выступлениях неоднократно подчёркивал приверженность ФРС обеспечению ценовой стабильности. Новый глава ФРС также анонсировал масштабный пересмотр операций в рамках денежно-кредитной политики.
