Although the FOMC statement maintained the phrase exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period, the overall tone was more than sufficient for the greenback to extend its upward trajectory, especially amid the rapid concentration of Eurozone-centric credit and banking problems cast a pall on the non-USD block.
