BNP Paribas has made some adjustments to its G10 FX forecasts in tandem with its economics team’s quarterly forecast revision process.
"The most significant change to our economic forecasts this quarter is that we have added a third rate hike to our Federal Reserve profile. Our economists now anticipate Fed hikes in May, September and December of 2017, followed by four rate hikes in 2018," BNPP argues.
