Thomas Light from Faraday research explains why he thinks the markets are complacent ahead of this week's anticipated Fed rate rise: "If we take a look at the dollar index you'll see that the greenback has weakened during the last five sessions.  This indicates that the market is complacent over the possibility of a rate hike, leaving us with the potential for an upside shock."

One of the ways Faraday is planning to play dollar strength this week is through a commodity-related currency, like AUD especially as the daily candle chart shows that prices have retraced to the top of a powerful descending channel. With the RBA’s policy statement on Tuesday morning, along with the Fed on Thursday, there's expectation of plenty of catalysts to kick start the downtrend again.
