USD: the Fed will likely raise rates 5 times in 2018 (Deutsche Bank)

Unlike UOB, Deutsche Bank has much more hawkish expectations of the Fed ahead of the FOMC meeting.

"The strengthening of the US economy means that the Fed will raise rates at least four times this year, and the risks are leaning towards five.

Governor Lael Brainard's comments are an important development, as she suggested that the pace of rate hikes may need to accelerate if the Fed's current forecast is wrong."
