FX Daily: September Fed hike baseline lifts dollar-bullish risks

AI Market Summary
News flow reinforces a stronger-USD regime as Fed speakers (Warsh, upcoming Waller) and the Beige Book are framed as keeping September tightening firmly on the table even if labor data softens. That favors USD strength versus low-yielders, notably CHF, while higher energy prices complicate EUR pricing and raise volatility risks. BoJ hawkish commentary may slow USD/JPY but is portrayed as secondary to Fed repricing.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller is set to speak, and he is expected to underscore that a rate hike remains likely ahead of the September 16 FOMC meeting unless incoming data turn unexpectedly dovish. Markets have shifted to a new baseline that the Fed will raise rates in September, keeping the dollar steady after earlier gains. USD/JPY is expected to stay elevated around 160-162 on the hawkish outlook, while the Bank of Canada is seen holding rates at 2.25% as core inflation remains well anchored.
