Here Is What the Fed Minutes Will Reveal About 2017, the Strong Dollar

The Federal Reserve releases the minutes of its December meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Ian Winer, head of equity trading at Wedbush Securities, based in Los Angeles, expects commentary in the report on the path of interest rates in 2017 and how the Fed views the dollar's recent strengthening. According to Winer, the Fed is keeping a close eye on where the S&P 500 is. Should a selloff occur, that may slow the Fed's rate hike plans in 2017.
