USD/MAJORS... LSEG then reported Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said on Wednesday that rising bond yields are not a function of a loss in confidence in the central bank.
Instead, the rise in real-world borrowing costs is due to economic strength, surging capital expenditures that have increased the competition for capital, and geopolitical factors, Warsh said in a press conference following the Fed's latest meeting.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG news, Fed's Chairman Warsh continues to say :
- decision we made today was a sober decision
- am not going to prejudge any future decision we may take

- Fed has a role in sustaining economic progress occurring right now
- those less well off have most to gain from that

Continues from previous update...
The Fed's new policy statement and economic projections, to the contrary, show a central bank opening the door on tighter monetary policy through next year, with the policy rate rising to the 4.00%-4.25% range by the end of this year and ending 2027 at the same level.
"Today's policy action will support a timelier return to the Committee's 2% goal," the central bank said in its policy statement after the end of a two-day meeting.
While the statement withheld any forward guidance about coming policy decisions, as is Warsh's preference, the decision is likely to ease doubts that the Fed chief would hold off on tighter policy out of deference to Trump, a lingering question during his first months in office.
The statement dropped a previous reference attributing current elevated inflation to "supply shocks" particularly in the energy sector, a nod to concerns among policymakers, including Warsh, that price pressures were too broad for comfort.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported the Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday and flagged further increases in borrowing costs in coming months, with new U.S. central bank chief Kevin Warsh joining a unanimous decision that effectively acknowledges the Trump administration's inability so far to control inflation.
While President Donald Trump had promised to lower prices on his watch, the combined impact of his global import tariffs, an energy shock following the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, and capital spending from the artificial intelligence boom has kept price pressures intense enough that the Fed felt it needed to raise its benchmark overnight interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to the 3.75%-4.00% range.
New policy projections showed 16 of 18 policymakers anticipate at least one more quarter-percentage-point hike by the end of this year, with only two of them seeing rates remaining stable from here. Warsh apparently again did not submit a rate projection.
It's the first policy shift under the new Fed chief, who took office in late May after being selected by Trump with an expectation that he would cut rates.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported U.S. consumer prices accelerated in August as the cost of gasoline rebounded after two straight monthly declines, bolstering financial market expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates next week.
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% last month after edging up 0.1% in July, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday. In the 12 months through August, consumer inflation advanced 3.4% after rising by the same margin in July.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI increasing 0.4% over the month and climbing 3.4% year-on-year. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI rose 0.3% last month after gaining 0.2% in July. The so-called core CPI increased 2.4% year-on-year in August after rising 2.5% in July.
The U.S. central bank tracks the Personal Consumption Expenditures price indexes for its 2% inflation target.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported U.S. job growth accelerated sharply in August while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, pointing to a still stable labor market and keeping an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve this month on the table.
Nonfarm payrolls surged by 162,000 jobs last month after an upwardly revised rise of 21,000 in July, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its closely watched employment report on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls would increase by 56,000 after a previously reported drop of 23,000 in July.
Estimates ranged from as low as a loss of 25,000 jobs to as high as a gain of 121,000. Labor market momentum had decelerated after surging in the spring, partly blamed on the oil price shock and supply chain strains from the U.S.-led war with Iran.

USD/CAD - 1.3867... LSEG reported Canada's economy lost 41,700 jobs in August, data showed on Friday, slowing sharply from unusually strong summer hiring, while the unemployment rate held steady at 6.4%.
The August report provides one of the last relatively clean readings of Canada's labor market before the effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's new 50% tariffs begin to filter through the economy.
The duties cover a relatively small share of Canada's exports but are concentrated in vulnerable industries including wood products, raising the risk that the recent momentum in the labor market could grind to a crawl.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast job gains of around 15,000, as against a huge 75,100 job additions in July. The forecast for the unemployment rate was the same as reported.
The industry lost 51,500 jobs in August led by business, building and support services and wholesale and retail trade, StatsCan said.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran's Larak island on Sunday, a U.S. official said, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since late July.
"I can confirm that earlier today U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into Strait of Hormuz," the U.S. official said.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the attack killed and wounded several soldiers and citizens and would be met with a "response and punishment" from Tehran, Iranian state media reported.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported the U.S. carried out a drone strike on the island.
