The approach of the Fed put the jitters through markets. It will probably remain hawkish despite likely reducing its hiking pace to prevent an over-loosening of financial conditions.

However, inflation is cooling fast. CorePCE has faded to 0.3% per month:

Though Core Services are still sticky:

The market has already rallied on these numbers What will matter for the Fed is how it frames the terminal rate and any easing ahead.

I doubt the dot plot will be dovish yet so that may support a return to AUD weakness.
