# Fed expectations power USD

> Markets raised expectations for the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate path after a higher-than-expected monthly CPI reading and hawkish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller. The dollar strengthened, while the article notes that lower oil prices or progress toward restoring Hormuz flows could weaken the case for further tightening.

## Why it matters

A more hawkish Fed outlook can support the dollar and raise the cost of dollar-priced imports for buyers using other currencies. Lower oil prices could ease inflation pressures and reduce that support for the dollar.
