Wu Peng: US Dollar Index Picked Up Slightly

Minutes of the Fed meeting: Fed officials have different opinions on raising interest rates in June. Officials believe that June is the timing of the first increase in interest rates. Others believe that given the fall in energy prices and the appreciation of the US dollar,

It is not appropriate to raise interest rates later in 2015.

According to the number of participants, the economic outlook has decided that the timing of interest rate hike may not be launched until 2016. There is no simple signal to raise interest rates.

Fed officials predict that the actual GDP growth in the first half of the year is less than that predicted in January, and the actual GDP growth in 2015 and 2016 is still higher than the potential level. The inflation rate is expected to be lower than 2% in 2016 and 2017.

Risk of damage.

The Fed's Powell said it expected the economy to support a slight increase in interest rates in 2015. The first rate hike may be in June, and the expected inflation rate will gradually increase to 2%. The risk of higher interest rate hike in advance is higher than the risk of inflation.

Fed Dudley: do not think the US non farm data in March brought a significant "signal", the recent economic data unexpectedly down.
