- US economic fundamentals are very strong
- sees economy working through latest turmoil
- latest market moves haven't curbed risk-taking, spending
- trading has been relatively orderly
- tax cuts adding to growth and could be upside risk
In line vs comments in January Mester when she had this to say
USD mixed as NA desks enter the fray but getting an algo-led boost from the headlines here. USDJPY finding a few bids and current 107.77 and GBPUSD falling back to 1.3880 after the 1.3925 highs. My sell-rally play working nicely again.
